UPCOMING GROUP WORKSHOPS

Radical Rest & Repose Workshops: Breathe, Move, Recover, & Escape

Saturday December 6th & Sunday January 4th

10:30am - 12:30pm

We live in a world where productivity is valued above all else making rest not only radical but a form of resistance. As Tricia Hersey writes in her NYT best seller Rest Is Resistance, "We must believe we are worthy of rest. We don't have to earn it. It is our birthright. It is one of our most ancient and primal needs." 

Check out her work at The Nap Ministry  (https://thenapministry.wordpress.com/about/)

“We believe rest is a form of resistance and name sleep deprivation as a racial and social justice issue. We subvert the narrative of productivity at all costs and embrace rest as a healing spiritual practice. “

“I was immediately (and continue to be) impressed with Suzie Goldstein’s individualized approach. Suzie’s knowledge of the intricacies of the body is spectacular, and our one-on-one sessions focus extensively on isolating and training particular muscles in my body so well that I actually replaced physical therapy with our one-on-one sessions.

Suzie adjusts our session every time depending on what she reads in my body’s posture and movements and in what I share of my recent experiences with pain and energy, and she intentionally guides and assists me in making shifts into positions that target direct muscles (including sending me home with assigned stretches to practice the following week).”
