HYBRID Relieve Jaw Tension with Yoga & Mindfulness with Cator Shachoy
April 13-14
Saturday 2:30–5:30pm ET
Sunday 9:30am–12:30pm and 2:30–5:30pm ET
Did you know your jaw is connected to your shoulders? Your hips?? And even your feet???
But most significant is the intimate connection between your brain and jaw. From an evolutionary view, the oral cavity and TMJs are so essential to your survival — as well as your ability to thrive — that nearly half of the sensory and motor aspects of your brain are devoted to the dental area. This means your brain is hardwired to keep close tabs on your mouth. Whatever is — or is not — happening in your mouth is continually impacting the rest of your body through brain functioning.
Join us as we explore how to relieve jaw tension with yoga & mindfulness. Class time includes a lecture/ discussion of the causes and repercussions of jaw tension that can manifest throughout your body. This understanding lays a foundation for our mindful awareness and yoga practice. Through experiential anatomy, mapping your personal tension pattern, applying core actions, yoga poses, facial self-massage, and guided meditations you will gain a well-rounded tool bag for working with jaw tension and pain. If you clench or grind, this workshop is for you!
Classes can be taken independently, though Day 2 will build on information shared during Day 1, so participating in the full weekend is recommended!

HYBRID Yoga, Scoliosis, and the Organs with Deborah Wolk

Scoliosis and other Back Issues are musculoskeletal conditions, but these conditions impact and are impacted by our organs. Deborah will offer techniques in the asanas to address these imbalances. She will also propose techniques to use the organs themselves to offer the spine more support.
