My 5Oth birthday is on January 3rd! I can think of no finer way to celebrate than to be with you. We’ll be doing something special that day, and I would love for you to be part of it!

This one-day workshop in Penticton, has been developed to provide value for yoga teachers, as well as for yoga practitioners with low back or pelvic pain. Participants will leave the course more prepared to assist their students, and with a greater understanding of how to adapt their personal yoga practice (or exercise) based on current understanding of this often problematic area. Participants will learn more about the structure and function of the bones, joints, muscles and connective tissues of the low back and pelvis. Common problems and pathologies of these tissues will be discussed. Misconceptions and myths will be challenged. Participants will have the opportunity to experience adaptations of yoga asana and stretches to assist with common problems of the low back and pelvis.

These four sessions equip you with all the basics of meditation to enhance your life and well being, including various meditation techniques, yogic breathing techniques, and clearer thinking processes.
