Yoga Workshop for the Back & Hips

                                                                                       …using Asana to Heal 

LEARN HOW TO AVOID LUMBAR SPINE MISALIGNMENT

One key factor in preventing strain in the lumbar spine is to maintain its natural degree of curvature. In Anusara Yoga normal curvature is maintained by three principles. You'll learn what they are in the workshop.

 

SAFELY INCREASE HIP RANGE OF MOTION

There are two beneficial movement patterns specific to Anusara Yoga's Universal Principles of Alignment for the hip to center the femoral head in the acetabulum. Learn how in the workshop.

 

In this healing workshop we will cover a group of Asana that are especially helpful for the lumbar spine and, hips. We will address how to help prevent and
minimize the erosion of cartilage that causes joint pain, and how to create greater ease of movement and decrease pain within joints that have already sustained such damage.
~ This workshop is appropriate for anyone interested in using Asana to heal.

It is ideal for those that suffer from chronic joint pain, and anyone who wants to learn how to help themselves and others. ~

YOGA AND NUTRITION

FALL WORKSHOP

The fall season is a beautiful time of year and a powerful time for change.  Renew your intention to practice yoga and eat healthfully by joining Dariece Warren, Yoga Teacher and Kippy Kern, Nutrition Educator for another afternoon of yoga and nutrition.  To promote health and balance as we move toward the colder months, we will begin the afternoon with a yoga practice designed to bring us into alignment with the season by slowing down our internal rhythm, clearing the mind and preparing the body for internal reflection.  We will then move into a nutrition talk and demonstration based on the Eating For Health™ model.  Learn which foods support the body during the autumn and winter seasons and which foods energize the brain and body for a healthier and more productive daily life. The afternoon will close with the sampling of tasty food and warm tea!

SPRING WORKSHOP 

YOGA AND NUTRITION

FOR LIVER PURIFICATION

 LOVING YOUR LIVER IN THE SPRING


     SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 2009 1-4 PM 2nd date added!

             SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 2009 1-4 PM sold out

All Levels Welcome

 $30 

As we emerge from the introspective quiet of winter, we welcome the expansive energy of the spring season. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the time of year for purifying and strengthening the most overworked organ in our body; the liver. Responsible for cleansing our blood of toxins, manufacturing hormones and humanizing the foods we ingest, the liver has more functions than any other organ in the human system. With the addition of modern day stress, addictive habits and food/environmental toxins, this precious organ is often overworked and congested. 

Join Dariece Warren and Kippy Kern, N.E. for an afternoon of Yoga and Nutrition specifically targeting liver purification and support. We will begin with yoga practice and meditation, followed by a nutrition talk and demonstration, ending with foods and teas to sample that can be used to enhance the function of your liver.  Handouts will be given with information and guidelines to assist you with your own purification program. 

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MARCH 25, 2009
