Yoga for Pain Relief Workshop

With Christine Bissonnette LMT, E-RYT 500, Integrated Positional Therapist

Do you struggle with tight hamstrings, sore knees or hips? Do you suffer from back pain or neck pain? Why do so much of us experience chronic pain? Most pain is foundational, resulting from imbalances in a musculoskeletal system that is not aligned. Explore an effective way to deal with these conditions through Yoga.

Guided by an expert bodyworker and yoga instructor with over 25 years in her field, learn how to use yoga to align the body by first identifying muscle imbalances that cause many painful conditions. By selecting the proper poses, to either stretch or strengthen targeted muscles, the body will start to come back into balance and out of pain.

Suitable for all levels, in this workshop we will learn to:

• Balance the pelvis, which is the foundation of the body structure
• Learn how to balance muscles for the most common painful areas
• Use yoga postures to balance muscles for various neuromuscular conditions
• Identify your own muscle imbalances and select correct poses to bring them into balance
• Practice self-care techniques to keep the mind, body, and emotions in balance 
• Use these protocols off the mat and bring them into your day
