Yoga for Fascia Health with Padmini

May 9th,  Saturday: 1pm – 3pm

Fascia is the connective tissue that provides support and structure throughout the body. It directly
influences:
-flexibility
-mobility
-range of motion
-posture
-ease and depth of breathing
-circulation
-the flow of vital energy (prana)

This workshop will nourish and nurture the fascia. It consists of a brief discussion of fascia, and a yoga practice of breathing exercises, long-held meditative postures, and a short meditation. The workshop will also provide the extra benefits of improved body awareness, physical and mental relaxation, stress
reduction, improved mental clarity, and improved concentration.
Some yoga experience would be very helpful.
