Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, Prevention and Treatment with Bobby Clennell FULL WEEKEND
HYBRID Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, Prevention and Treatment with Bobby Clennell
August 10-11
Saturday, 2-4:30pm ET
Sunday, 1:30-3:30pm
Full Weekend: $70*/$80
Saturday Only: $45*/$50
Sunday Only: $35*/$40
*Early Bird if registered by July 29
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases. Come learn the actions that bear weight on the bones, mobilize the pelvis and send a fresh supply of blood to the joints.
Saturday, 2 – 4:30pm:
We will focus on standing poses (supported and unsupported) to help build strong bones, and the standing one-legged poses (such as vrksasana – Tree Pose) to help minimize the risk of falls, and therefore fractures.
Sunday 1:30 – 3:30pm:
We will learn how to take extra care of the spine by using props to keep it long in the forward bends, the (upright) extended spinal twists, and the reclining poses. We will also explore the poses that create space between the vertebrae: Adho Mukha Svanasana – Downward Facing Dog Pose, (and for the experienced students), Rope Sirsasana.
Pelvic Awareness and Connection with Patricia Videgain
Pelvic Awareness and Connection with Patricia Videgain
In- Studio Monthly Series
Saturdays, 2:30-4pm
August 17, September 14, October 26, November 30, December 28
The goal of this monthly class is to learn about and connect to the pelvic space. Students will be given time and opportunity to experience, reclaim and embody the pelvic region, the female organs and the rhythms of the female cycle.
Each of the five classes will be a mix of lecture, discussion, asana and movement practice.
The classes will cover:
Exploration of the functional, somatic, and experiential anatomy of the pelvic region.
Exercises for self-discovery, flexibility, strengthening, and coordination of the pelvic region.
Guidelines for practicing yoga asana with pelvic alignment in mind, informing and creating connection with the organic body.
We each hold native, embodied wisdom. This wisdom reveals itself when we allow the natural genius of our bodies to show the way for practice and connection. Experiential Anatomy, Developmental Movement, and Iyengar Yoga can be vehicles to understand, connect to, reclaim and integrate the territory of the pelvis.
Teens & Tweens Series with Dahlia Galler
YOGA & SCOLIOSIS FOR TEENS & TWEENS SERIES
with Dahlia Galler
Sundays, 12:30–1:30pm
Next Series: September 8, 15, 22, 29
Has your doctor told you to watch and wait?
Is your child braced?
Is your child preparing to have fusion surgery, or have they already had fusion surgery?
No matter what your child’s situation, the Yoga & Scoliosis for Teens and Tweens class will help address your child’s scoliosis, muscular tension, pain patterns as well as the psychological and social pressures that accompany treatment and therapies in adolescence.
This class is appropriate for ages 11-17. All teens welcome are welcome to this class, but as idiopathic scoliosis is commonly diagnosed in adolescence the class will generally focus on scoliosis. This 1-hour class creates an environment that is less intense than the adult classes, allows teens to relate with one another, and is sequenced for a young person’s energy level. Dahlia Galler’s positivity and experience with her own scoliosis will communicate how the love of yoga will lead to a healthier relationship to the body…at a time when this relationship is particularly difficult.

“So, spine is one dimension of you, which determines which direction you go. How your spine is functioning; how the energies in your spine are functioning right now determines almost everything about where you go.” ~ Sadhguru
Yoga is a form of mind-body centering that involves a combination of muscular activity and an internally directed awareness of the self, the breath, and energy. We heavily rely on our spine to support us through life. From a physical point of view the spinal column is an important channel for all the bodily stimuli that are transferred via the nerves to the brain. It is part of our central nervous system along with the brain. But also on a spiritual level, the spine is the source of all our energy. The spine is the axis for the human body, which acts as a connecting link between Earth and Heaven. A properly aligned spine promotes emotional stability. Often, the muscles of the spine, neck, shoulders, hips and the knees tend to be an areas where many people experience tightness, hold tension or have pain or injury at some time in their life. This workshop will give you an understanding of how spinal alignment and the breath can relieve tension and create a positive mind state. For all students with spinal imbalances, stiffness or injuries to knees, shoulders or hips as well as those who wish to maintain the health of their joints and release stress and anxiety.
