A Pain in the Neck (and How to Get Rid of It)

Do you suffer from neck/shoulder and upper back discomfort? Have you tried stretching exercises, massage,
acupuncture, or other passive therapies with only short-term results? If the answer is yes, this workshop may be what you need.

There’s proof that only stretching your neck won’t fix the aches and pains. The neck muscles and tissues need strength to support the load of the head and better your posture. In this workshop, we will be specifically working exercises and sequences to bring awareness and strengthen neck muscles, shoulder joints, and rewire the load we place in our tissues around the area.

We will be using therapy balls, blocks, straps, the wall, among other props to do this. Many exercises will be supine, others sitting, and standing as well. This is a workshop that welcomes anyone and everyone who wants to learn how to decompress, relax, and apply easy ideas to feel better in one of the areas where we hold the most tension. It is approached as a mobility session so there is no yoga flow or vinyasa practice. It’s an all levels offering.

After the workshop, feel free to join Karina in the lobby to catch-up over a cup of tea.
