Bloom Yoga Studio: Yoga for Upper Back, Shoulders, and Neck, part of Therapeutic Yoga with Jessica Gonsiorowski
Therapeutic Yoga, a 3-part series with Jessica Gonsiorowski
Understand your body better and live more resiliently
Habitual postures and repeated movements of everyday life create imbalances in your body that over time contribute to discomfort, pain, or even injury. Yoga is a great support in keeping your body healthy, and it is not uncommon to take these imbalances into your yoga practice which can reveal some of these imbalances.
Feel the liberation of understanding your body, its patterns, and its imbalances. Expand your yoga practice or come and start your yoga journey in these thoughtfully developed workshops. Learn how a therapeutic approach to your yoga practice can create more balance, stability, and freedom in your body.
In each 2-hr workshop we will study a specific area of the body, learn its basic anatomy, how to strengthen and lengthen the key muscles, and explore the energetic component of that specific area. You will experience yoga asana, breath practices, and stress reduction techniques. Dive into your own habitual patterns and explore how to move towards more functional alignment and movement in your daily life and on the mat.

Yoga for Upper Back, Shoulders and Neck Thursday, March 30 6:30 - 8:30pm
The thoracic and cervical spine has become a challenging area for most modern bodies. Long hours in front of computers, heads in a forward position straining the neck, plus added emotional stress, leads to tightness of the chest muscles. This contributes to much of the pain and lack of mobility in these areas.
