This workshop is not designed to diagnose a back issue but to offer exercises and movements to stretch, strengthen, and soothe your spine while teaching you to move through your life with more postural awareness and less discomfort. We will incorporate a combination of strengthening postures that engage the back and core muscles for posture, and relaxation postures that will help reduce tension in the spine. The back discomfort we will address is due to muscle tightness, imbalance, or improper alignment.

Balancing these two forces is the source of back health as well as the challenge in creating a healthy back practice. In this practice we will explore movement to connect to your core. A flowing sequence of yoga poses will help to unlock the spine and correct muscular imbalances for a pain free back.
