Workshop Description
So much overwhelming stuff is happening right now in the world, and in our lives. Sometimes it seems impossible to manage. Stress and anxiety manifest as all kinds of things in the body. Sometimes it feels like tightness or pressure, or even pain. As a bodyworker I’ve picked up a lot of techniques to help myself and my clients deal with these sensations.

I am happy to announce that I will be teaching these techniques in a workshop at CFSBK. These are easy to learn techniques that anybody can do. All you need is a pair of hands and a little patience. I am very excited to offer this work to this community.

In the workshop we will be doing a short meditation followed by a demonstration of 2 to 3 simple techniques using touch and breath to calm down our nervous systems and quiet the physical feelings of anxiety and stress.

Miriam’s Bio
Miriam Barlow has had a passion for movement and the intelligence of the human body from a very young age. From the beginning she wanted to experience every kind of movement practice from modern dance and yoga, to boxing and cycling. At Sarah Lawrence College, her intensive study of dance lead to her interest in anatomy and physiology, and went on to receive a Bachelors of Science Degree from Edinburgh Napier University in Sports and Exercise Science. Rolfing seemed to be a very natural progression as it married the beauty of movement with the body’s own natural capabilities and complexities. She currently has a practice in her hometown of Park Slope, Brooklyn where she lives with her daughter. She has been practicing for over 10 years and specializes in biomechanics, scar work and visceral manipulation.
