Description

Yoga seeks to make well-being dominant in one’s life. But everyone who practices yoga comes to the realization that some part of their anatomy has been injured, traumatized, or simply ignored and neglected, leaving it subject to pain, stiffness, misalignment, and deterioration with age.

Although medical management can offer drugs and surgeries when necessary and appropriate, it often fails to address deeper problems by simply masking the symptoms. Yoga chikitsa, which means yoga therapy, can help.

Founder of Yoga Circle in Chicago, Gabriel Halpern, taps the wisdom of yoga chikitsa to show you how to modify any pose that gives you trouble or causes difficulty. Each day he addresses different parts of the body. He helps you perform poses that challenge you the most, and coaches you on how to improve your practice and your life.

Anyone at any level of experience in yoga is invited.
