PROGRAM
SATURDAY, JULY 7
10 am – 12:30 pm Yoga for the Shoulders & Neck – Freedom & Strength – PART 1
The neck and shoulders are two common areas that hold tension and stress. Poor posture and life patterns contribute to tension and discomfort in these areas. In this workshop, we’ll focus on strengthening and opening the shoulders to help our neck be freer. We will practice poses to open the thoracic spine region so it becomes suppler and helps our neck and shoulders relax and open.
We will look at common and popular postures taught in flow classes and use our practice to develop good habits that will help keep these areas supple, strong and healthy. You will learn the use of props and work with methods and modifications that can improve circulations and over all health for the shoulder-neck.
The weekend will include:
- Reading bodies
- Effective use of props
- Modifications and variations
- Common injuries
- Hands-on adjustments
2:00 – 4:30 pm The Pillars of Backbends – From the ground Up
In this workshop, we will work on the fundamental principles of back bends. We will practice using a variety of poses—from standing to seated and supine poses. With an emphasis on how to heal, strengthen, and protect the lower back, we will also explore how to move the focal point of our back bends to the middle and upper back to achieve the freedom that back bends are really all about. Learn new ways to protect yourself against common risks, overcome any obstacles, and feel completely empowered in this foundational pose. Come and rebuild your back bends from the ground up.
SUNDAY, JULY 8
10 am – 12:30 pm Yoga for the Shoulders & Neck – Freedom & Strength – PART 2
See description on Saturday.
2:00 – 4:30 pm Twist and Cleanse – the exhilarating power of twisting
Twists are an amazing group of poses that can be practiced in a variety of positions with multiple effects. By awakening the mid and upper back, they are powerful tools for preparing us for back bends and inversions. They are also wonderful counter poses that provide a cooling and neutralizing effect on the body and mind. In this workshop, we will explore the full range of twists—from standing, sitting, and supine, with special attention on their unique healing powers to increase awareness and mobility in the thoracic spine area. With their tremendous ability to heat and cool the body, twists are essential for detoxification and renewal.
