Yoga Tune-Up Self Massage
Sunday, October 1
4:00 - 6:00pm
$40 Early Bird by 9/1, $48 After
Here’s a tool to help you work out the kinks on your own at home: therapy ball self-massage. This 2-hour workshop will offer a head-to-toe rollout to leave you feeling physically soothed and emotionally relaxed. Price includes a set of Yoga Tune-Up balls for continued use.
Advantages of self-massage:
-
Release physical tension. Learn techniques to soothe your personal hot spots.
-
Relieve stress. Knead your physical form to relax the mental and emotional layers of your being.
-
Breathe more freely. Physical tension and postural habits impede the breath. Unblock your respiration and repattern your carriage.
-
Deepen your asana practice. Stretching is not the only—or even, sometimes, the most effective—way to increase flexibility. Self-massage can improve mobility. The balls also awaken unconscious body areas; improved body awareness leads to more skillful movement.
-
Reveal yourself to yourself. Map your physical form and explore the mental and emotional states that self-care can evoke.

Yoga for Low Back Care
Sunday, October 15
4:00 - 5:30pm
Regular Class Price
Low back constantly hurt or feel stiff? Herniated discs, bulging discs, desk-sitting, hard living, and unexplained discomfort. We have a very different (read: effective) approach to using yoga to care for your low back. You probably haven't heard this before and we can't wait to share it with you. This workshop style class combines lecture with movement so you can learn how to care for your back day to day. We are so passionate about this information, we hope you'll join us.
As always, we approach therapeutic care holistically and will discuss common anatomy and physiology but also recommend using a team of medical professionals, too, if needed.
