Hey there friends and yoga students, teachers and please consider attending this workshop this weekend May 20 & 21 at in and . The .cata, director of and of will offer movement classes based in and Patti will offer writing sessions working with memory and recounting experiences with orthopedic and other medical care or any experiences you wish to write about.

For teachers participation opens a window for you to see and understand what your fused students with scoliosis feel, need and what might inhibit them from movement and finding their full range of motion.

I have attended this workshop and related fusions workshops with Martha for the past 7 years or so and every year I gain more insight for my fused students and how their needs differ from other students with scoliosis. In addition working with Patti's prompts, observations and suggestions had produced some great writing!!

This workshop is appropriate for all levels and movement abilities including brand new beginners and those who use assistive devices for mobility. All poses and movements can be modified for your ability.

Please join us! Please pre-register at samamkayabackcare.con/workshops. We look forward to seeing you there!!

This Weekend! Join Helen Margaret Giovanello for a workshop on the Rhythm of the Body!⁠

Saturday, April, 23, 2022 12:30-2:30pm⁠
First of a 3 part Online series. (next two sessions TBA)⁠
$40/$35 Early Bird if registered by April 11⁠

The aim of this workshop is to explore our regular families of asana using scoliosis modifications and props that students are already familiar with, while moving beyond our mental intentions.⁠

The body has its own pace and rhythm which is rarely the same as that of the mind.⁠

Normally, the majority of our movement in yoga practice follows conscious intention, which imposes itself on our practice. But in this session, we will try a different “beat”, a new “song”. Helen will guide us to tune in more with our breath and senses. There, each student will search for a place of wholeness, find a moment when the body is ready to move, and then integrate an action. This slow, quiet, internal pace will allow each practitioner to take their time, with no agenda, no expected performance and be totally present to the movement of life. Practicing this way creates a deep sense of peace, expanded awareness and fluidity. The objective in this workshop is not to do more asana but to create a path which widens our understanding and creates new options and inspiration in future practices.⁠

This workshop is for students who are not in a hurry!⁠

All participants will receive a recording of the workshop for review!⁠

It’s been a few years since we’ve been able to host this special scoliosis retreat with Deborah Wolk on beautiful Salt Spring Island in B.C. This year’s focus is on scoliosis and the nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic), and it will be an incredible embodied learning opportunity for people with scoliosis and/or spinal fusion at all ages and stages. Deborah is an excellent teacher, and we can’t wait to share her skills with you.

You will love Salt Spring Island!! This area is one of the most beautiful places on earth. You'll stay in a rainforest, eat farm fresh local food, and the we will access the parasympathetic nervous system throughout our Yoga practice... so you'll deeply relax in a way that is unusual for those of us with scoliosis. I'm so excited to get out of town and escape the NYC heat this July. JOIN ME!

YOGA FOR BACK CARE: Strengthening the Back Evenly. Back Care: Building Strength Evenly with Yoga
ONLINE WORKSHOPwith Deborah Wolk
Hosted by The Yoga Room Berkeley

Saturday, July 17

5-7 p.m. EST| $40


When we have a back injury or asymmetry, collapse and atrophy weaken us due to our imbalances.  Often those who suffer from injuries or pain are told to strengthen the abdomen or "the core" to heal, but workouts building one muscle group can often lock in asymmetry and ultimately create more imbalances and pain.  


Once we start healing the body with good alignment, strength is needed to maintain that alignment, to rebuild confidence in the body mind, and to sustain internal lift.  Where do we begin?  What is strength if it is not just muscle building?  and what techniques and skills are needed to build strength symmetrically
