Deepen and Enrich Your Practice.
Yoga Therapy for Neck & Shoulders
April 17th, 12-2pm (in person at Up Yoga)
This workshop is designed for yogis who have suffered from neck or shoulder pain in the past, or are currently experiencing neck or shoulder pain, as well as for those who would like to learn preventative measures to maintain a healthy, strong upper body.
Looking through a yoga therapy lens, yogis will learn practical and applicable tools to strengthen deep core muscles, regain healthy breathing patterns, and align their bodies properly, with particular emphasis on how to safely and efficiently move through a chaturanga without any pain or strain.
We will assess posture, gait patterns, and habitual movements, in order to gain greater body awareness. Each yogi will leave with a customized plan he/she can enact at home and in future classes.
If you are currently experiencing chronic neck and shoulder pain, please get clearance from your health care provider to attend the workshop.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle Workshop
May 15th, 12-2pm (in person at Up Yoga)
Ayurveda translates from Sanskrit as the "science of life." We are each born with a certain constitution, or dosha, that determines our personalities, body types, food preferences, emotions, etc. This workshop will cover some theory, but be mostly focused on practical lifestyle practices you can put into use to live more in alignment with the seasons and your own constitution. In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to incorporate daily balancing techniques like oil pulling, tongue scraping, making your own spice blends and ghee, and abhyanga (oil massage to calm the nervous system). Spices and ayurvedic products will be for sale and all participants will leave with product samples and a daily practice handout.
Qualifies for 2 hours of Yoga-Alliance approved Continuing Education Credits.
Intro to Ayurveda

The workshop is intended for students of all levels and will also include a short physical practice exploring each dosha and its properties.
