GN051 Spinefulness Workshop

WICE is partnering with John Raven from Spinefulness to offer an introductory class on relieving back and joint pain and improving posture through natural alignment. Are you suffering from back or joint pain while sitting, standing or moving? This is the class for you.

Spinefulness, also known as Aplomb in France, is a unique practice rooted in the work of pioneering French women. It is based on decades of detailed, rigorous observation of pain-free cultures and young children who still maintain their natural alignment and balance with gravity in everyday life. 

John's eye-opening presentation and individual assessment will show you exactly where the problem lies and what to do. Experience how a few simple shifts in how you sit make you feel better over and over again.This empowering, restorative class is for all ages and body types. You’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived—and with tools you can use anytime, even while sitting at your desk.

Please wear looser-fitting softer pants—jeans do not work well!
