LEARN SKILLS THAT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE
Empower yourself by learning skills to help defend against an assault. Kajukenbo is a combination of five different martial arts. It is the blending of the "most lethal" aspects of karate, judo, jiu jitsu, Chinese kenpo, and kung fu.
You can expect partner work and close personal contact to simulate real-life situations. All participants are responsible and supported in setting their own limits and level of comfort. The confidence you will gain from this course alone is worth the price of admission.
This is a women's only workshop. Girls should be at least 10 years old and mature enough to handle adult subject matter.
Recommended attire: workout clothes.

LEARN SELF-HEALING TECHNIQUES WITH THE FOAM ROLLER
Experience an hour of deep stretch and relaxation! Learn the techniques and science behind foam rolling as Celeste leads you on a guided journey of your body from the bottom of your feet to our often tense muscles of the skull.
The foam roller is not only a great tool to increase flexibility but is optimal for releasing lactic acid following a heavy workout, activating the lymphatic system to flush toxins and excess fluid from the body, and provides full body muscle self-massge and relief. Foam rolling is great for both athletes and beginners alike who are looking for a deeper connection between their mind and body.
Whether you're looking to cool down using active and passive stretches following a workout, or just want to relieve regular body aches and pains, this class is great for all levels!

A WEEKEND OF FELDENKRAIS® WITH LARRY GOLDFARB
Castle Hill Fitness is honored to present a weekend of workshops with one of the preeminent international presenters and trainers in the Feldenkrais® Method, Larry Goldfarb. Feldenkrais® uses gentle movement sequences to engage the brain in a constructive process of sensory-motor learning, with a wide variety of immediate benefits.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, AND SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30
12:30-5PM
No prior Feldenkrais® experience necessary.
In-Person & Virtual options available both days!
SATURDAY
MADE FOR MOVING: FELDENKRAIS® IN DAILY LIFE
Throughout our lives, we've learned to move in an incomplete, idiosyncratic, and often haphazard way. MADE FOR MOVING introduces basic Feldenkrais®
SUNDAY: IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE AND BREATH
Designed for all practitioners of the moving arts & sciences.
Your breath has been influenced and impacted by illness, injury, intense incidents, and instruction. Whether you notice recurring patterns or not, the effects can be detrimental, reducing your respiratory repertoire and resilience, inhibiting motion and emotion, and restricting physical and mental flexibility.
In Sunday's workshop, Larry will guide you through practice and discussion of the Feldenkrais® method to reclaim and improve the ability to breathe easily.
RSVP IN ADVANCE
