Yoga For Chronic Conditions

This class is for those living with conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, and arthritis. Traditional yoga methods will be used in conjunction with evidence-based approaches & understanding of movement & chronic pain. The intention is to create a safe space where we can both work towards improvement of symptoms well putting into practice a respect for our own personal limits at this moment in time. In order to achieve the above we will be using all the tools that yoga offers: postures (asana), breathing (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), & potentially some simple chants (mantra). We will do our practice in accordance with yoga philosophy, in particular the aspects of yoga which speak to ahimsa (non-harm/compassion & gentleness with yourself). Each student will be asked to complete an intake form in order to have particular practices integrated into the class to serve their individual needs & goals.
