Back Care Basics Workshop
Saturday, March 7
3:00-6:00pm
Back pain sufferers take heart! Come and find relief and discover new options for your home practice. Whether you have general backache, stiffness, or soreness in your upper spine, scoliosis, SI joint dysfunction, or sciatica, this workshop will teach you how to relax. Yoga poses traction the spine. Once the spine elongates and decompresses, ease of motion is restored, as is free and easy breathing. Youʼll go home knowing how to set up simple poses that alleviate discomfort and get a new lease on life.
Pranayama and Restorative Workshop
Sunday, March 8
3:00-6:00pm
The fourth limb of yoga is pranayama. Mastering poses confer a flexible body, calm nerves, and mental steadiness. Yoga is the best antidote for being burnt, being out-of-sync with your own life rhythm, or fluctuating back and forth between being anxious or depressed. Yoga teaches techniques that are simple, safe, and effective. Today's class will cover a sequence of poses that will relax and renew. Supine breath awareness techniques as well and digital pranayama basics will be covered. If you want to leave with peace of mind, come to this class.
