teacher's intensive

working with scoliosis
friday 4/16/2010, 2 - 5 pm — $75
Whether we have muscular imbalances or major scoliosis, Iyengar yoga can bring an awareness to such imbalances to facilitate transformation. Elise will include information on scoliosis, explore imbalances, and how to adapt asanas to an imbalanced body to arrive at a more balanced state, both mentally and physically. This intensive will focus on a wide range of standing and seated postures for students with scoliosis who may be dealing with a slight asymmetry or extreme curvature of the spine. Anatomy will be discussed pertinent to the postures practiced. Suitable for teachers and students working and/or living with varying degrees of scoliosis and those with fused spines.

caring for your back
friday 4/16/2010, 6 - 8 pm — $50
This workshop will teach yoga as an approach to relief of chronic back pain, for conditions ranging from minor neck tension and lower back pain to severe scoliosis.

All levels welcome.
