If you've been wanting to try Yoga for Geeks, but have been too nervous (or busy) to come to a regular class - don't miss this special workshop! Please join me for my last Toronto teaching engagement of 2007.
What: a Saturday afternoon class for serious beginners and stiff people, as well as for anyone interested in learning how to prevent and work with existing repetitive strain injuries, and/or other work-related pain. ALL are welcome!
This will be a mostly chair-based yoga class. We'll stretch out and explore:
- the arms and shoulders - how to stretch out the connective tissue that gets tight from too much keyboarding and mousing
- the hips - often tight from too much sitting
- the chest - often restricted due to hunching over a computer
- the spine - to learn what good alignment feels like
- anything else you identify as a sore spot or area of concern.
Come and learn some general principles for stretching and breathing, and practice listening to the body and the feedback it offers.
Why bother? Because a modern work-life takes a toll on the body, but it really doesn't take much to start to feel better. Increased mobility, better balance, and enhanced mental clarity are commonly reported benefits.
Where: Indoor Playground, 364 Richmond Street West, Toronto, top floor
When: Saturday, November 24th, 2007. 2pm - 3:30pm
Cost: Sliding scale, $10 - $25.
Please bring a yoga mat, or let me know if you need to borrow one.
No yoga clothes required - but please dress comfortably.
