The Psoas is known as the fight or flight muscle and is similar to a barometer for the state of our nervous system. Experience this important muscle and how to release and strengthen it. As with most muscles, it is important that we have a balance between stability and mobility. We will explore strengthening, releasing and relaxing through Yoga poses and functional movement modalities. A tight psoas can cause postural problems, so conditioning the psoas in your yoga practice can help keep it healthy, strong, and flexible. If you spend a great deal of time sitting, this will be a key practice to incorporate into your lifestyle. This class is appropriate for all level practitioners with some previous experience.

Yoga poses that expand the chest area and open the front body relieve tension stored in the surrounding muscles and allow the body to send off natural painkillers. They lift your mood and create space around the heart region, allowing for growth in compassion and a feeling of connection. Backbends open up the front of the body and are often called heart openers and mood elevators. Front body opening poses provide space in the lungs to breathe more deeply, which can bring calmness to your mind, In this workshop, we will approach backbends safely in a methodical way. We will use various props to promote confidence, maintain control and compassionately support each practitioner regardless of whether you can push up to a full wheel pose. This class is appropriate for all level practitioners with some previous experience.

Join Chris Furer and K-Lea Gifford on Sunday, August 31, for a 2-hour foot workshop! The feet are the foundation of our skeleton and play a critical role in our posture and movement habits. Lack of mobility and stability in the feet can, and most likely will, end up causing problems for the joints above them. Due to improper footwear and the lack of challenging surfaces and terrain, the feet are not exposed to environments that keep them supple, strong and healthy. The arches in our feet, which are critical for healthy biomechanics in the knees, hips and spine, may begin to collapse, and form a sort of internal collapse. The ability to connect to our pelvic floor and core is very much linked to the support of our foot arches. If our feet lose their mobility and strength, we become vulnerable to foot disorders such as plantar fasciitis, sprained ankles, bunions, shin splints and neuromas. Many therapists look at the feet as a critical contributory factor in lower back pain. For all-level practitioners with some previous experience.
