Yoga for Healthy Backs
With Naomi Hayama
Saturday 21st April 2012
Do you suffer from a niggling back problem that is not getting any better? Come and find out how to gently release and strengthen your back. We will be exploring ways to develop core strength and improve your posture and alignment to help alleviate your back problem. We will use simple stretches and postures that help relieve tension and I’ll show you how to modify common yoga asanas (postures) safely so that you can practice with confidence. We will also use simple breathing techniques to develop our awareness and relax the mind and body.
There will be hand outs on a short practice for you to do at home so you can continue to improve your back issues. Please wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely and avoid eating a large meal prior to the workshop. Suitable for all abilities and levels of fitness, no previous yoga experience required.
If you have severe back problems, please consult your doctor and consider coming for private lessons initially.
Date: 21st April 2012
Time: 2:00pm - 5:00pm

It will be a friendly and informal workshop where all abilities, levels of fitness and experience are welcome from those who have never tried Yoga before to those who have attended group classes but are curious to know more. Comprising 3 short, gentle Yoga practices introducing foundation postures and ideas, discussion, handouts of suggestions you can try at home, and a break with refreshments will make up this wonderful afternoon of Yoga leaving you relaxed, refreshed and knowing more about what Yoga is all about.
