Only 2 places remaining!
Discover effective yoga and somatic techniques designed to alleviate pain and promote lasting lower back health.
Join this transformative, therapeutic workshop designed to help you deepen your awareness of back pain/discomfort and employ essential maintenance techniques that put you in control of your back health journey. During this immersive experience you will:
Discover the profound connection between habitual movement, breathing and emotions and their ability to influence the stability of your lower back.
Understand the importance of the pelvis and its supporting musculature, in maintaining the structural integrity of not only the spine, but your whole body.
Explore the relationship between the pelvis and spine and how specifically crafted somatic movement, breathwork, and yoga postures can influence this relationship through mobility, stability and tension release.
Learn simple take-away techniques to help you take charge of your own wellbeing, develop emotional resilience and promote better functional movement.
The session will end with tea and tasty home made treats.
