Clients with specific postural issues require specialized programming to effectively realign the skeleton and re-balance muscles.
This lecture / demo, developed by the Merrithew® team, reviews exercises from the Essential Reformer repertoire and explores how these movements can be modified for each individual. Specific postural habits are discussed with particular focus paid to muscular imbalances associated with aspects of the following postures: kyphosis-lordosis, sway back and flat back. How to recognize and target lengthened, weak, shortened or tight muscles due to postural habits, what exercises to select and appropriate cues and modifications are also examined.

Immerse yourself in a 90-minute fusion of movement, breath, and sound healing in this unique Sound Journey / VinYin Yoga experience.
Guided by Karen, the class begins with Vinyasa, flowing through dynamic sequences to warm the body, build strength, and create space. As we transition into Yin Yoga, Adi weaves a live soundscape of didgeridoo, clapsticks, medicine drum, flute, and guitar, intuitively shifting the sound to complement each posture and moment of stillness. Music and voice will seamlessly flow in and out, enhancing relaxation and deepening your connection to the practice.
This class is designed to balance energy, promote mindfulness, and encourage deep release through movement and vibration. Leave feeling grounded, rejuvenated, and in harmony with yourself.
