Workshops
These will be offered at 2 different locations for your convenience: Point Loma and North County Care and Prevention for the Neck,
Shoulders and Upper Back When: Sunday December 8th 12:00 - 2:15 Cost: $65 Where: Yoga Arts in Point Loma 3017 Canon St San Diego, CA www.yogaarts.co I am so excited to be teaching at Yoga Arts - such a beautiful space - you will love it! What is it about our body types and/or daily activities that create discomfort in our neck, shoulders, and upper back? How does stress and mind body connection play into this? What can we do to decrease our tendency for the common pains/injuries of these areas? What can we do to work with the injuries we already have? In this workshop, you will leave with a better understanding of: • How your neck, upper back and shoulders “work”. • Tools for prevention and addressing pain. • What type of active movements to do to help prevent or reduce discomfort. • Tips on stress reduction and behavior modification. As a physical therapist and a yoga teacher, I will approach this topic drawing from both worlds. This workshop will be part lecture, discussion and active so you can experience what you learn. There will be a short break mid way to keep minds sharp! • Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in. • Handout with pictures provided A Healthy Back - Education & Care

I will provide you with basic knowledge and skills to make informed decisions on how to keep your back healthy. Choosing to follow recipes of back care doesn't work since we are all unique!
