Hatha yoga, like any physical discipline, can create wear and tear on the body, mind, and spirit. Serious practitioners and newcomers alike may encounter physical roadblocks and stagnation. Certain poses may feel disconnected, dangerous, or downright impossible. When this happens, the body has not been safely prepared for asana, and the warning signs include pain, numbness, and an unsupportive mental dialogue. In Yoga Tune Up®, we learn to intelligently and systematically prime ourselves for every category of asana. The workshop incorporates movements from Jill Miller’s signature Core Integration series, as well as effective joint mobilization techniques based on orthopedic physical therapy. Her innovative approach deconstructs poses into accessible, digestible units, the way a mechanic disassembles an engine. No matter which yoga style you may prefer, Yoga Tune Up® playfully offers the nuts and bolts of basic movement while refining your yogic awareness. This workshop is ideal for yogis, athletes, dancers, martial artists, fitness professionals, and yoga enthusiasts of every level. $15 materials fee; include when you register.
