LET’S TWIST AGAIN
with Annette Murphy

Saturday June 28 2–5pm

The practice of twists increases mobility and decreases stiffness in the back shoulders and neck. Twists tone the internal organs and aid in the healthy functioning of the intestines and can support recovery from back pain.

In this workshop, Annette will explain the therapeutic application of twists and teach the best way to practice to maintain a healthy back. The workshop will cover all categories of twists - standing, inverted, seated and supine.

Open to all students with a minimum of 6 months of Iyengar Yoga experience. It is not suitable for those in the acute phase of a back injury.

This workshop is hosted by and held at The Iyengar Yoga Institute
2404 27th Avenue # Taravel

HIP OPENERS
With Annette Murphy

Saturday August 26th 2-5pm

Sitting in chairs and cars for long periods of time on a daily basis is a significant contributing factor to increased stiffness in the hips. Habitually held tension in the hip and pelvic area directly affects our posture and may be a major factor in lower back pain.

In this workshop, Annette will teach a sequence of hip openers that will include many classical yoga poses. Through the innovative use of props and vital alignment actions she will show how though make each pose accessible and appropriate so that even the student with the tightest of hips can get the maximum benefit. Annette will also cover how to work with hips that are a problem due to arthritis.

This workshop is open to all levels. Teachers who want to learn how to help their students work on hip openers safely and appropriately are also welcome

COST: $60
