Sunset Yoga

Saturday, November 7, 12-2 pm, Sunset Yoga Center, 12923 NW Cornell Road #203, $30

Self Myofascial Release Class

Feeling tight? In this workshop, participants will learn how to use foam rollers and trigger point balls to release tight muscles, prevent injuries, and improve circulation. Muscle groups targeted will include calves, quadriceps, hip muscles, and the rotator cuff. There will also be a discussion on how muscle restrictions lead to common pain patterns. A printout of the techniques taught in the class will be provided.

Self-Myofascial Release foam rolling techniques are performed on the floor, using the arms to support part of the body’s weight. Participants must be comfortable getting up and down from the floor and bearing some weight in the arms.

Each participant should bring his or her own foam roller. Foam rollers can be purchased online or in most sporting goods stores and generally cost about $20. Black foam rollers provide a more intense massage, white foam rollers are more gentle. A 6” by 36” roller is recommended for this workshop. Trigger point balls will be provided for participants to use during the workshop and will be available for purchase.

AccountabilityVirtue of the Month: Accountability

“Always take 100% responsibility for any activity you’re involved in.” The Corporate Mystic

Accountability is the willingness to stand in responsibility for every choice. It is acting with integrity, doing what we say we will do. When we make a mistake we do not seek to hide it or avoid it. We have the courage to face it willingly. We are open to the lessons it can bring, and ready to make amends.”

The Practice of Accountability

I take responsibility for my choices.

I have the humility to face my mistakes.

I am a life-long learner.

I make amends.

I weigh both positive and negative outcomes.

I live up to my sense of justice.

Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of Accountability. It is my moral high ground.
