Rocking and Rolling Into the New Year | January 2026 6-Class Online Series

January 9 - January 27

REGISTER NOW

Children are known to self soothe by rocking, sliding, shaking, tapping or pumping their body (known as stimming). It is proven that repetitive physical motion calms the nervous system and regulates the biorhythms. This month we practice somatic movements and yoga poses to boost a parasympathetic response in the body, entrain the breathing, and regulate the nervous system.

* All classes are held from 10:00 – 11:30am Mountain Time*

Wagging the Tail – Fri Jan 9th

Side to side, pumping movements around the tailbone generate micro-movements all along the spine. In this practice we oscillate, rock and pump the sacrum and tailbone to help bring synergy and coherency to the nervous system.

Rocking and Pumping in the Legs – Tues Jan 13th

This class emphasizes release of the nerve sheaths that travel down into the legs. We rock and pulsate through the heels, ankles and knees. This helps generate kinetic flow up into the pelvis, spine and brain.

Rolling the Pelvis – Fri Jan 16th

This class focuses on rocking and side-bending motions to free up restrictions in the strong connective tissues of the pelvis.  We also use pelvic tilts to pump the low back and sacrum. This leads to a profound sense of integration, relaxation, and well-being in the entire body.

Rolling and Rippling the Spine – Tues Jan 20th

In this class we do movements to help propel waves of kinetic energy through the spine. We practice front to back and side to side movements to pump, slide and pendulate the spine. This helps bring coherency to the entire spine and central nervous system.

Sliding and Squeezing the Arms – Fri Jan 23rd

Arm and hand releases can have profound effects on the brain and nerves. By stretching, rocking and tapping the arms, we open up the neurological pathways down to the hands and wrists and integrate the two sides of the body.

Unwinding the Neck and Shoulders – Tues Jan 27th

In this class we perform side to side movements in the neck and shoulders to help bring mobility to the upper trunk. This helps to discharge energy through the hands and regulate the lungs, heart and nervous system.

Cost: $100 + tax
