chifferobe workshop: Yoga for Relaxation

Taught by: Melissa Freitas

Day to day life requires us to divide our energy and attention between many different tasks and people. Although juggling the demands of work, and family life can have great rewards, we're often left feeling drained as a result of putting self-care on the backburner. A well-rested, calm person is a more productive and happier person , and my workshop on yoga for stress relief is an ideal fit for anyone looking to increase their level of wellness, but needs to do so on a tight schedule.

Rather than having to commit to a weekly practice, workshop participants will learn over the course of one workshop techniques that can either form the foundation of a personal practice, or be broken up and used as on- the-spot stress relievers. In this workshop, we will explore variations on yoga postures that can help to release tension in the areas where the body most often carries tension: the neck, shoulders, back, and hips. Restorative and supported poses will be included, as well as guided breath work and readings to quiet the mind. Although some knowledge of yoga is helpful, this workshop is appropriate for practitioners of all levels.

This workshop is $20. A minimum of 10 students is required for the workshop to take place. A maximum of 20 may participate.
