What: Does a slouched posture or forward head leave you feeling stiff in your upper back or shoulders or tense in your neck? Do you have low back soreness? Misaligned posture due to our modern lifestyle is a real thing. Your breathing, nervous system and wellness are all affected by the placement of your pelvis, rib cage, shoulders and head. Ideally, we want to defy gravity and not be adversely influenced by it. Your built-in stabilizers, muscles you may not regularly associate with postural powerhouses, are likely offline, under conditioned and under utilized.
Join this (4) pt. therapeutic series to learn more about standing tall and invite better posture. Part-lab, all experiential, all yoga and all to support you awakening patterns for your wellbeing.
When: Saturday March 7th from 10a-11:00a, in-person
Where: Banya 5 Urban Spa, 217 9th Ave N. Seattle, WA 98109

Session #1 - What does standing tall feel like?
The 1st class in this series explores neutrality and balance as postural frameworks. Use the breath, feel into the relationship of 'opposing forces’ and move toward structural neutral for balance. Begin to sense outer (and inner) positioning habits and compensation patterns.
As in each of the (4) classes in this series, you'll leave practice with an increased sense of spaciousness, length and bodily awareness on the journey of better posture. No previous yoga experience is necessary. Simply a desire to feel better in your body!
