Get to know your body by exploring your spine and bring your balance back!

In this workshop, we will focus on our spine and learn how to breathe and relax in the pauses. Not only working on yoga mat but also by using wall, chair and props, you can easily bring the practice in the daily life.

Asako Suehiro developed structural scoliosis in her adolescence and has found tremendous help for her back in her yoga practice. In this workshop she shares practice routines that are effective for scoliosis and demonstrates how to make use of a wall, a chair and other props to make the practice part of your daily life on and off the mat. We will explore our bodies from the spine, and regain balance in body and mind through breathing exercises and relaxation techniques in the postures.

The workshop is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Previous experience with yoga is not required and children are welcome. It is also suitable for yoga teachers who would like to deepen their knowledge to better help yoga students with scoliosis in their classes.

Have a light meal before the session and wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. If you have had surgery to fuse your spine, please consult your doctor before attending this workshop.

Asako is certified Yoga Alliance RYT500 teacher.
