Happy Hips: Sciatica and Low Back Relief at YAM

Happy Hips: Sciatica and Low Back Relief at YAM

Strong and healthy hips are at the heart of much of what we do. Starting from the feet up, this workshop will introduce you to techniques that will help with stability in the hip joint, increase range of movement and assess your breath and posture. We will explore body blind spots through feedback from the therapy balls. Through myofascial release, stretching and breathing techniques we will improve proprioception, reduce pain, and discover integrated body awareness. And because it is all connected, we will also address neck and back discomfort.

Join Loretta Zedella as we provide our hips with a stretch, therapy ball release and strengthening to help alleviate pain and tension.

In this workshop, we will identify some major muscles of our hip joints. With the help of the therapy ball, we will explore the connective tissue. This effective small rubber tool can give release and hydration in our entire hip area. We’ll practice specific movements to target this area in ways we can incorporate into or daily lives. As a result you may feel tremendous relief. Join us if you are seeking a solution for back pain, sciatica, or just want to learn self-care strategies to live better in your body!

*Workshop includes one small therapy ball for home use

Aerial Yoga Basics at The Shift Studio- tentative

Aerial Yoga Basics at The Shift Studio- tentative

Join me for four weeks of aerial yoga exploration when its safe to gather.

Aerial Yoga is the practice of traditional yoga asanas and stabilizing movements done using a hammock or swing, which is made of silk. This style of yoga may be perceived as acrobatic, or that it may require a higher fitness level, but one may find great range and extra support in the silks, and ease within one's self with time and practice.

$80 Series ($20/class) or $25 for individual session. 20% off for Shift Members (Use Code)

Pre-Purchase www.theshiftstudio.com/purchase and a minimum of 3 students, maximum of 9. Drop Ins may not be suitable after the 2nd week. E-mail for more details: theshifthendo@gmail.com

Aerial Yoga helps in lengthening the spine with the back muscles engaged. The action of the arms raised up to hold the silk fabric strengthens the shoulders, arms, upper back muscles, and builds a strong chest.

Learn to fly on aerial silks, in a supportive, beginner friendly, non intimidating, aerial yoga series of classes.

Join Loretta at The Shift Studio to experience moving in the air. Aerial Yoga combines the fun of other alignment-centered playful movement along with strengthening then relaxing shapes. Using the support of your hammock, we find proper alignment naturally while supporting the joints of the body.

(Of course this date is dependent on coronavirus safety. If we need to we’ll push this into the future. )
