BACK CARE YOGA
Saturdays, May 8 & June 19, 2010
10.30 am - 12 noon
with Petrina Plecko

Heal and prevent back problems by applying the yogic principles of healthy alignment during the daily activities and establish an intelligent yoga posture (asana) practice, learn the correct movements and recognize poor body mechanics and habits responsible for the back pain. Establishing an effective yoga practice will carry over into everyday movements. As the body becomes more flexible, so does our thinking. As the muscles become stronger, so does our inner power. As we learn how to take care of our backs, we learn to take better care of ourselves in every aspect of our life. Petrina will introduce participants to the basic alignment principles, and a simple sequence of strengthening and restorative yoga postures, powerful relaxation techniques, hands on healing and wealth of information that helped to heal her and many of her students' chronic back pain. All levels welcome.
Students with serious back conditions need to contact Petrina before the classes begin.

Cost:
$70 for the series (recommended)
$20 for a single class (if there is space)
To reserve please email petrina@petrinayoga.com or call 845.304.3574

 

YIN YOGA & MERIDIANS
With Petrina Plecko
TBA
Yin Yoga is a more passive form of yoga practice. The postures are held for several minutes, sometimes for 10 or even longer. The muscles (= yang tissue) stay mostly relaxed so that the connective (= yin) tissue of the body can be targeted. A static, elongating “stress” on the ligaments (tissue around the joints) and other connective tissue not only makes it grow thicker and longer, it also opens the flow of energy through the energy pathways (called meridians or nadis).
In this workshop you will learn the history, the principles, the healing aspects of Yin Yoga and a routine that you’ll be able to continue practice at home.
Not recommended for total beginners.
