Have you ever wondered:
– Why does twisting to one side feel less accessible than the other?
– How to manage one shoulder/hip higher or tighter than the other?
– What is happening when discomfort/pain present themselves only on one side and in the same location?
– Why balancing on one leg is almost impossible or unstable?
– Why do I feel lopsided?
It can be concerning or at times frustrating and limiting to experience imbalances in the body, especially where pain, discomfort and restrictions are involved. It is also not uncommon that during yoga practice, where the body and mind is attempting unfamiliar movements and positions, that asymmetries become more apparent. More importantly, when there is lack of awareness or attention to asymmetrical sensations during practice, these imbalances may over time become greater.
With open discussions and experiential practices, Adelene will share her journey and experience in practising and living with a structural imbalance, ie. scoliosis. We will understand and learn how to modify and adapt postures, to personalize the practice to support living and being in harmony from moment to moment.
This workshop offers:
- insights into posture and spinal health, locating and navigating imbalances
- restful release poses and movements to increase mobility
- manage and reduce discomfort on and off the mat
- develop sensory intelligence and acumen
- modified practices for musculoskeletal imbalances
- build confidence in managing and practising with imbalances
- learn to re-map healthy daily postures for optimal support
Join Adelene for a day of physical and mental re-calibration. Suitable for those living with scoliosis, physical or structural imbalances, trainees and teachers who are interested in practising and teaching from a therapeutic perspective.
