IS BACK PAIN ROBBING YOU OF YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR LIFE? You aren't
alone.
1 in 10 people have experienced back pain in their life.
Join us for a practical, informative workshop that focuses on human
anatomy of the spine and empowers you with the knowledge of a yoga
practice to strengthen your spine, release tension and alleviate back
pain, so you can regain freedom in your spine, your back and your
life.
ABOUT YOUR SPINE / BACK & WHY IT MATTERS
Your spine has three major functions: Protecting the spinal cord and
associated nerve roots, providing structural support and balance to
maintain an upright posture and enabling flexible motion. Your spine
is the BACKBONE OF YOUR ABILITY TO MOVE, SLEEP AND FUNCTION PROPERLY.
Most of your movements originate from your spine, so taking care of
your cervical (upper) and lumbar (lower) spine are the key to ensuring
a HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE.
SIX DEGREES OF FREEDOM IN YOUR SPINE
Your spine is dynamic and EACH FUNCTIONAL SPINAL UNIT HAS SIX DEGREES
OF FREEDOM - i.e. it can move in 6 different
directions: flexion, extension, axial rotation, laterolateral
shear, anteroposterior shear, axial compression/decompression. FOR
FUNCTIONAL LIVING, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE SPINE TO HAVE BOTH MOBILITY
(flexibility twist to look behind us, to fold forward to pick up
something etc) AND STABILITY (to lift and carry objects without risk
of injury).
==================================
YOGA FOR BACK PAIN WORKSHOP
In this WORKSHOP, you'll learn how to release long held tension in
different areas of your back. We will look at how a yoga practice can
promote stability, mobility and fluidity in your spine to release
tension and alleviate back pain! Leave feeling relaxed and with a
deep sense of balance and relief.
This workshop is suitable for all levels including beginners to
yoga.
WORKSHOP FLOW:
- LECTURE ON SPINE / BACK HEALTH: We begin with a short lecture on the
anatomy of the spine, your back and common causes and types of back
pain (sciatica, piriformis syndrome etc.), and address any burning
questions prior to commencing the asana (posture) practice.
- YIN YOGA FOR MOBILITY: You will be guided to safely mobilize your
spine in all six directions, while maintaining it's natural, neutral
position. By staying longer in each of the postures (2-5 mins), you
allow gravity to help you to compress and decompress your spine,
building bone strength and stretching connective tissue.
- YANG YOGA FOR STABILITY: You will engage your core muscles to create
stability, shorter holds (5-7 breaths), incorporating repetition to
build endurance, protecting the spine and back. flows through yoga
movements drawing out the primary postural patterns of: flexion,
extension, lateral, elongation, rotation and neutral spine.
- SOMATIC YOGA FOR FLUIDITY: You will be guided through gentle
somatic movements, focusing on how it feels inside rather than how the
pose looks like from the outside. By focusing on freedom of movement,
giving spaciousness between the joints and especially the spine,
you'll learn to release your own back muscles, finding more fluidity
and freedom in your spine.
- GUIDED RELAXATION & MEDITATION: You'll be guided to conclude the
practice with a restorative supine experience to allow your spine to
melt and completely lay to rest.
Workshop size will be kept small (10 maxmimum) to allow for greater
attention and hands-on adjustments.
Mats are provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Please come dressed in comfortable attire ready to move.
