Safe techniques to promote healing and relieve pain.
. Learn yoga postures to stretch and strengthen the
back and neck
. Receive tips for improving existing conditions
. Discover modifications for typical yoga poses
. Two Yoga Alliance CEUs will
be provided for existing teachers.
Diane's goal is to bring the rewarding
experience of yoga to beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
A stressful IT job led her to yoga, and she loved it from the very
beginning. She felt called to share yoga with others, and it has
become a large part of her life purpose.
She enjoys helping others reduce stress
and find yoga-based solutions that may relieve and reverse the effects
of various physical and mental conditions. Diane has experienced
many of these conditions herself, and has found yoga to help them
all.
Her belief is that yoga is an activity
with huge payoffs for the time and energy invested. As you practice,
you'll find the benefits of yoga are profound, often in unexpected
ways. The effects are cumulative, and increase as you continue returning
to your mat over time. Body, mind, and spirit will thrive as you
achieve a greater state of balance through your practice.
Workshop is from 1pm to 3pm.

Teaching Yoga for Special Needs. With Mary Kay Berg, E-RYT
For Yoga Teachers... a workshop
to keep your students safe.

injuries and concerns that our students bring to class with them.
Anything from back injury, sciatica, pregnancy, anxiety, depression,
high blood pressure... the list is endless.
There is no reason to exclude anyone from
your classes or your sequencing when you are properly trained to
handle any student with care.
In this workshop, we will explore common
issues and poses / practices which are beneficial to assist our
students as well as learning contraindications for certain conditions.
Our number one priority is to keep students safe and loving their
Yoga practice. Please join me in an educational and fun afternoon
of growth and learning.
