A Twisting Workshop with Paddy Hamill

Your ability and the degree to which you can twist is dependent upon the mobility of the spine and its supporting muscles and ligaments - and twisting is facilitated in 3 main areas - the lumbar ( lower ), thoracic ( mid ) and cervical ( upper ) spine.

The spine can twist and move in different diections at the same time and for this reason it`s important that we understand the importance of good technique to protect ourselves from injury.

We very often carry tension deep within our bodies and when we twist we can feel as though we are literally wringing that tension out.

In this workshop you will explore a range of twisting poses from a supine, seated, kneeling and standing position to help encourage and facilitate this release and deepen your ability to twist. The use of props and partner work will allow you to explore various poses in a supported way.

This workshop is open to those students who have a minimum of one years regular practitice.
