Healing and preventing back problems is possible by applying healthy alignment during our daily activities and establishing an intelligent yoga posture practice. In this workshop you will learn the correct movements to improve your alignment and how to recognize poor body mechanics and habits responsible for the most common back pain.
Petrina will introduce the principles of the body's energetic and structural patterns in a form of loops and spirals. These principles can be effectively applied to prevent, relieve and heal the back, neck and shoulder pain not only on your yoga mat but throughout your daily activities.
Saturday, January 20, 2:00pm–5:00pm
