Join me for a full inquiry and exploration of the back and the spine, in Leicester Clarendon Park, Houghton, Leicester and Billesdon / Tilton. I’m really excited to announce my new Gentle Back Workshop, bringing together my 10 year’s experience in teaching Yoga, Breathwork, Meditation and movement with some wonderful recent specialist trainings!
This workshop is all about getting to know and understanding your back and your posture better, discovering where you might be holding tension, restricting movement or engaging in or developing holding and movement patterns that could be contributing to discomfort or unhelpful posture.
Through gentle Somatics, yoga, breathwork, postural alignment and a lovely deep back meditation, we’ll explore ways to relax, release tension, relieve pain, improve mobility and develop greater awareness of how we move and hold ourselves.
Everything will be gentle, accessible and focused on helping you feel more comfortable in your body.
You’ll also learn simple techniques you can take away and use at home and in everyday life, with videos reminding you of and guiding you through some of the practices to continue to improve your overall wellbeing and you help you maintain a healthy, pain free back.
The whole workshop can be enjoyed on a chair, on a mat, or a combination of the two. The benefits and experience enjoyed will be the same whichever you choose and you will be guided in selecting whichever option feels most comfortable for you and your body.
