Restorative Tools & Movements in Workshop:
- Indian Clubs come from a 5000-year-old tradition of mind-body training in the Middle East and India. They were a standard part of true “physical education” training in the United States during the “Golden Age of Fitness” – 1880s through 1920s – and were a competitive event in the 1904 and 1932 Olympics.
- Meel Sticks are short rods that can can be used in a way similar to Indian Clubs. Easy to create yourself, they’re a great introductory tool.
- Health Wands are lightweight poles whose use originated in ancient China. Through simple movement patterns related to Tai Chi, users flow through bending, twisting, and stepping movements to create strength, health, and vigor.
- SandBells are soft, sand-filled discs that provide active resistance for stabilizing core muscles as you move through cross-lateral and spiral movements, unwinding tension and fostering mind-body balance.
- LaSierra High PE Calisthenic Routine: This was the last great PE program in America to make a national impact. While vigorous, this routine is quite corrective for posture and helps teach proper movement mechanics while enhancing mental focus. Learn more about LaSierra High PE.
