Yoga for Back Care weekend – In Studio & Zoom
November 4, 2023 - November 5, 2023
Join Elise Miller for a weekend of yoga for back care. This event is now being offered in studio and online.
Please note that attention and adjustments will be given to those attending live in studio for this workshop. It is preferable to attend in person to gain the most benefit.
Many people come to yoga for relief of back pain, whether it’s as minor as neck or lower back tension or as serious as severe scoliosis. Often the pain can be chronic rather than from a specific injury or condition. Done with correct emphasis, yoga asana can be extremely successful in alleviating the pain for mild or serious conditions.
This 2-day in person workshop will address how to use yoga to increase strength and flexibility in the back focusing on the relationship between the spinal column, the pelvis and shoulder blades. Elise will teach both classical and modified asanas that are particularly beneficial for back conditions such as lower back pain, disc disease, sciatica, upper back and neck tightness and scoliosis. Anatomy will be discussed as pertinent to the poses taught.
All levels are welcome, including teachers wishing to enhance their skills with an emphasis on back care.
