About this Event
Farming is hard work. In this class, led by Cynthia Flores of Labor-Movement, participants will gain a better understanding of self-care in this physically-demanding profession. Through hands-on movement practice, Cynthia will guide participants through four foundational movement patterns — hinge, squat, push, and pull — and explain the critical role of core stability in protecting your body on the job. You'll leave with:
- A stronger understanding of body mechanics as they relate to farm work
- Tips and techniques to reduce strain and prevent workplace injuries
- Tools to improve productivity and long-term physical well-being
- Time for Q&A with Cynthia
This workshop is for anyone who works with their body and wants to keep it healthy. Come ready to move!
This workshop is donation-based with a suggested donation of $25. Our hope is to make this class accessible to everyone in our farming community, but contributions to support this programming and our nonprofit are greatly appreciated.
