Happy Back: The Whole Back

Service Description

Your back doesn’t work in separate pieces. The neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, pelvis and hips are all connected. What happens in one area can influence how the rest of the body moves and feels. This two-hour yoga workshop brings it all together, taking you on a journey from the neck and shoulders right down through the spine, pelvis and hips. The practice will include stretching and mobility work, gentle strengthening and stabilising movements, posture and alignment exploration, and plenty of opportunities to notice how different movements feel in your own body. You’ll also be given simple ideas and awareness cues to take away with you, so that what you learn can continue to be useful long after the workshop ends. As we wind down, we’ll move into restorative poses that encourage the whole body to soften and release. We’ll finish with a deeply supported Savasana, specifically designed to leave you feeling rested, spacious and deeply relaxed. You’ll leave feeling lighter, taller, more open and at ease, with a renewed sense of connection through your whole body and a better understanding of your back — how it moves, what supports it and what it needs — so you can take better care of it in everyday life. This workshop is suitable for all levels and can be enjoyed on its own. You do not need to have attended the Upper Back or Lower Back workshops. It’s especially beneficial if you: >experience tension or stiffness in more than one area of your back >spend a lot of time sitting or working at a desk >feel generally stiff, compressed or restricted through your body >want to improve your understanding of posture and movement >would like to build strength and stability while also releasing tension >want practical ways to care for your back beyond the yoga mat Come as you are. Leave feeling more connected, supported and at ease in your whole body.
