Core Strength and Back Health: The Doors to a Pain Free Life – Hybrid
Roberto Astorga
Saturday, September 21
1:00 – 3:30 pm
$35
We know that core strengthening is one of the most important ways to keep the back healthy, to live a life free of pain and discomfort.
But most people think of strength work for the abdominals only. The core is composed of a series of muscles, not just the abdominals.
Following the principles of the Hip Flexor’s workshop, Roberto Astorga will share with you the keys to strengthening the core in a holistic and integral way to protect your spine.
Yoga for Well-Being: Back Care – Hybrid
Nicolo Fonte
Recordings from June, 2024
$75 for the series
In this class series, we will explore asanas that can help take care of your back OR relieve back pain, be it the cervical spine (neck and shoulder area), middle back (the thoracic), or lower back (the lumbar and sacrum). Challenges in the back surface for a variety of reasons, some from birth and others develop over time (such as sitting for hours at a computer or hand held devices). Open to those who wish to incorporate a more holistic and preventive approach to back care and those that have a specific back issue.
Join Nicky in these 3 sessions, where we will explore a variety of poses from all categories of asanas aimed at strengthening (and lengthening) not only the back but also the abdomen and legs, with the added benefit of walking through life with better posture! Learn how to use props appropriately and how to approach poses safely and effectively, all to keep your back feeling great! All levels welcome!
Please note, this is not a therapy workshop. Students should be able to get up and down from the floor independently, have basic freedom of movement in their joints and be fully capable of participating in this active, yet slower-paced class. Online students should have a yoga chair, 3-5 blankets, at least one yoga belt, 2-3 blocks and a bolster.
