About This Event
Knit without the knots is gentle, intelligent, nervous-system-based approached using Hanna somatic movements to help understand and shift patterns that have become problematic. It isn't a stretch class or ergonomics lecture but an intro to an alternative option to reducing your tension from your craft.
Your body is talking. are you listening?
You finish a row — or ten — and there it is. stiffness in your neck. an ache across your shoulders. discomfort in your back. tightness in your hands that wasn't there when you sat down.
So you do what you've always done. you stretch. you take a walk. you put the knitting down for the day and hope tomorrow feels better, but what if stretching isn't really the answer? what if there's another way — one that actually works with how your body learns and moves?
Neck & shoulder tension after time with your project • stiffness in your back from sitting
aching hands, wrists or fingers • that familiar knitters slump (the "schlump")
feeling like your body is working against you • wondering how much longer you can keep this up

Our focus areas: Real change.
• the seated body takes a toll on your back | connecting to your 3-dimensional body & breath
• where most knitters feel it first | your upper body: shoulders, neck & head
‍ • ‍ the tools of your craft | arms, hands & fingers
• ‍the extras | eyes & integrations
