Yoga Conditioning for the Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back

  • Yoga Bhoga - Belmont St. 4220 Southeast Belmont Street Portland, OR, 97215 United States (map)
Yoga Therapy

Do you want to relieve stress and tension in your neck, shoulders and upper back? Do you want more strength and stability in chaturanga, arm balances or inversions? Or maybe you simply want some relief of discomfort in your daily life off the mat. You’re not alone. These areas of the body can be tricky to take care of in yoga asana, but have no fear! This workshop will give you the information you need to begin to work more skillfully with your body. You’ll learn functional strengthening and mobilizing techniques, with fun adaptations of traditional yoga asanas and other exercises.

This workshop includes a handout to support you in your practice during and after the workshop. There will be an anatomy and biomechanics portion (you’ll meet my skeleton helper, Charles!), followed by practice. If you’ve attended a previous yoga conditioning workshop, join me again as you will learn new tricks and techniques for continued support on your path. For yoga teachers, each workshop qualifies for 3 hours of continuing education through Yoga Alliance.
