Review from a previous Workshop:
"Sienna's Neck and Shoulders Workshop, like all her workshops and classes, was extremely informative, not just about the anatomy of the body, the way it is meant to move safely, but also about all the techniques and exercises that allow the neck and shoulders to be positioned correctly for best posture. I learned many tricks and movements, specific to my body, and have been using them daily, to strengthen my upper back and shoulder muscles, and release my tops of shoulders and upper trapezius muscles, which tend to overwork and cause tension and pain in my neck! As usual, I couldn't feel more grateful for Sienna's immense knowledge and teachings." - Ani W. (Student)
