An interactive yoga workshop to release stiffness, ease pain and gain greater understanding of your lower back, hips and their connection. Join Jessica Gonsiorowski for a transformative workshop designed to help you explore the relationship between your posture, movement patterns, and the health of your lower back and hips. Through posture exploration, yoga poses, basic anatomy, and mindful awareness, you will gain insight into how stiffness, weakness, or even pain in this area might be influenced by the way you carry yourself.
Although yoga is a great support in keeping your body healthy, it is not uncommon to take these imbalances into your yoga practice and therefore perpetuate some of these imbalances. Low back pain is omnipresent in modern life and one of the main reasons students turn to yoga. It’s estimated that up to 80% of people will experience back pain at some point. Causes vary—from structural issues and spinal injuries to poor posture habits and muscular imbalances like weakness or tightness. Hip health plays a key role in preventing and relieving low back pain. The hips and lower back are closely connected, and dysfunction in one often affects the other. Prolonged sitting and repetitive movements can lead to tight hip flexors and weak glutes, placing extra strain on the lumbar spine and altering posture.
Throughout these 2.5 hours you will learn:
• Basic anatomy of the lumbar spine and pelvis
• Posture and alignment exploration
• Stretching and strengthening key muscles for better support and mobility
• Breath practices
• Stress reduction practices
• Utilizing props to adapt the practice in a personalized way
Expand your yoga practice or come and start your yoga journey in these intelligently developed and empowering classes and move towards more functional alignment and movement in your daily life on and off the mat.
This workshop is for you if :
• You are experiencing stiffness or pain in the lower back and hips
• You have reduced mobility in your hips
• You have gait dysfunction
• You have SI joint pain
• You Experience Stress and anxiety
• You want to improve your posture and movement patterns
• You want to deepen your yoga practice
By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with a deeper connection to your body and practical tools to feel better and move more freely.
