Posture rescue
Let's face it, thanks to smartphones and computers, "tech neck" is now the norm. Compromised neck posture can be a major health hazard, contributing to headaches and migraine, TMJ, cervical arthritis and disc degeneration, even problems with the upper extremities and mental clarity due to blocked circulation. If you're ready to rehab your neck posture, this lesson will give you the key postural cues, stretches and exercises, customized for your unique body and everyday habits. Take ten pounds of pressure off of your neck muscles, and ten years off your (visual) age! Perfect for all ages.
emotional Freedom Flow
A mental "flow state" has been studied by psychologists for its ability to bring us out of our worried stream of consciousness, and into an ideal, fully present mindset. Join Acacia for a customized movement lesson programmed to be accessible for your body, with the main goal of having fun, relieving stress, and bringing you into the moment. This class may draw upon dance, hula-hoop, yoga, isometric strengthening, and a variety of other free-form movements. Access more movement while also generating a positive mental state! Appropriate for all fitness levels and ages.
silver Moves
If you're a senior seeking more ways to stay mobile, strong and dynamic, this lesson is for you. Acacia will meet you where you are and customize a menu of movements suited to your needs and abilities, building your confidence in skills that can be practiced daily at home for wellness. Walking wellness, protecting the spine and hips, osteoporosis awareness, floor and furniture mobility, protecting your overhead reach, even moves for hand strength-- this lesson will be built for you and your longevity goals.
Foot Health Bootcamp
Hammertoes, bunions, & plantar fasciitis... oh my! Learn how to improve foot functionality in this foot-focused movement lesson. Acacia will show you how to mobilize those long-ignored tissues in (and around) the feet, toes, and ankles, and set you up with simple exercises to activate the arches and intrinsic foot muscles. Wake up the feet and improve not only your average foot pain but perhaps your knee, hip or back pain as well! Also fantastic for athletes and weekend warriors whose feet need some love.
Yoga Private
A private yoga lesson can be a great way to hone your home practice, relax and restore, or perhaps get started on a new wellness routine. Drawing from Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative yoga practices, Acacia will adapt the session to your current goals and needs.
