Welcome to Red Hawk Physical Therapy

November 14, 2024

Hi Yogis,

Here in Michigan most of the trees have shed their leaves, some stand bare, and yet some trees still have leaves that are holding on. Nature is allowing and holds space for all possibilities as the seasons change and unfold in their own time. Practice too helps us slowly unfold, shed, grow, and evolve.

As we move towards the end of the fall I am preparing my winter schedule and I want to share a little about my upcoming retreat at Ratna Ling in Sonoma County this coming February. Evoking Resonance: Therapeutic Yoga, Breathwork, and Sound Immersion will be led by myself and Teresa Van Eyk owner Satya Yoga.

Please take a moment now to read more about the retreat center and all this weekend has to offer you. Last year the retreat sold out. We encourage you to commit sooner than later so you don't miss out!

Ratna Ling Retreat Center is located in the coastal redwoods of Sonoma County, a spectacular 90-mile drive north of San Francisco. The retreat center offers the opportunity to experience beauty and quiet, in elegant private cottages, each with an expansive view of the surrounding countryside and natural settings. Read more below and you'll find all the details on Ratna Ling's website:

This 2 hour workshop/laboratory will help you discover the balance between mobility and stability of your hip joints. They are built for stability but require mobility for optimal function. First you will learn the functional anatomy of the hip. Where is it??? What major bones and musculature and connective tissues are included in the region. Understanding these important principles will enable you to practice from "the inside out" and help self guide the yoga practice. In addition we will address balance/proprioception components of the practice. Question and Answer time will be allotted. Following this discussion we will have time for practicing poses and drills to help reinforce the learning. You must bring your inquisitive and playful minds along with a sense of humor.
