Foundation Training can benefit everyone ranging from people suffering from chronic back pain to elite athletes looking to stay injury free and improve performance.

Thursday, November 7, 10 – 11 am How do you see conflict? Is it possible that conflict can be positive? In this workshop, we\u2019ll look at our own biases about conflict, and learn tools of self-awareness and communication that can be used to help conflict propel us forward rather than leave us feeling stuck.
