Yoga for Hip, Lower Back, and Pelvic Pain – Online
with Leslie Howard E-RYT 500, C-IAYT
March 11 - 25, 2021
Thursdays: Mar. 11, 18, and 25
Join Leslie Howard, an internationally-acclaimed Yoga educator who pioneered the growing field of Yoga for pelvic health, for this three-part online workshop designed to help people with pain or tension in the pelvis, hips, or back. Pain and tension can result from trauma or chronic holding patterns. Trauma can include chronic poor posture, surgeries, difficult labor, sexual abuse, or strains. Pelvic trauma or tension can contribute to issues such as incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
This workshop includes a brief anatomy lecture and discussion, breathing techniques, and Yoga poses practiced with particular attention to gently relax the muscles of the pelvis, hip, and back. Handouts will be provided to help support your practice of what you will learn.
Live sessions with Leslie on Thursdays at 7–9 pm ET.
You will have access to the video recordings for 1 week after the program ends, until April 1.
In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm ET and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.
