We start out playing with toys to explore ourselves and our environment, and this process never stops. The evolution of the Smartroller® was designed from Dr Stacy Barrows background as a PT and her Feldenkrais® training of somatic education. Dr. Feldenkrais, a physicist and martial artist, originally introduced the foam roller to assist sensory motor learning and to promote higher states of body awareness. Building upon his ideas, the Smartroller delivers an improved integrated experience to deepen motor learning. Stacy wanted to help her students return to this movement intelligence to find optimal self-improvement.
In this five-class series, we will use the Smartroller to explore guided movement puzzles that are designed to engage in organic learning to discover novel solutions for everyday needs .Stacy is excited to follow the Smartroller Guide to Optimal Health to support her plan to help all her students move well and find their true strength.
