The importance of the shoulder joint in organizing movement.” Saturday, August 20, 2011. 3-6 pm. $80. Jeff will be sharing many movement principles, hands on techniques, and exercises he has developed over the years that have proved effective for his clients.

This workshop will address specific challenges in the use of the arms that are unique to women. It is also applicable to men. His work is inspired by Moshe Feldenkrais. Jeff Smith teaches M.
