Do you hold tension in your neck and shoulders? If so, this workshop will help.

Many factors can cause neck and shoulder pain, from medical conditions to lifestyle habits including your sleeping position. This discomfort is typically a result of movement—or lack of movement—in your daily routine. Computer and cellphone use put undue stress on your neck, shoulders and upper back. Repetitive actions cause imbalances and pain by engaging some muscle groups and neglecting others.

In this workshop we'll incorporate alignment-oriented, balanced action to release unconscious holding patterns in your neck, shoulders and upper back. Through progressively sequenced poses and mobility techniques, you’ll gain flexibility by opening the chest and strengthening the muscles that stabilize and support this region of the body.

We'll complete our practice with restorative breathwork and stillness. You'll leave feeling deep calm and renewed freedom in your mind and body.

Take a journey through an asana practice designed to support you in shedding your stress, releasing your resistance, softening your edges, letting go of your judgments and dissolving your fears.

The intimacy, connection and resonance that is possible for us when we open our hearts to compassion, tenderness, kindness and what Tara Brach calls “radical acceptance” not only enriches the quality of our lives, it actually is the most powerful impact to our health and well being.

This workshop includes a 60 min asana practice followed by a discussion on the fine art of communication and grace of loving generously.
