Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis
A TWO PART Workshop with Rachel Jesien
SATURDAY May 4 from 2-5pm
PART 1: Yoga for Back Care 2-3:30pm
PART 2: Yoga for Scoliosis 3:30-5pm
Back discomfort is an issue that affects the vast majority of the population, and can take a serious toll on one’s quality of life. Whether this pain is on-going due to structural spinal issues, or a fairly new development, these workshops will introduce you to the benefits of a specialized Backcare Yoga practice and how it can restore the natural curves of the spine, and strengthen the back, allowing for more balance and ease in the body. Find mindful awareness and relief through modified and specific sequencing, postural, relaxation, and breathing techniques.
In this workshop, you will:
· Learn a practice specific to your structural issues that you can take home with you.
· Identify the root cause of pain, so you can correct postural habits which keep you from healing.
· Find relief through mindful awareness, relaxation, and breathing techniques.
PART 1: Yoga for Back Care 2-3:30pm
This workshop is designed for students and teachers working with back issues such as hyperkyphosis, hyperlordosis, SI Joint issues, hypermolbility, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, spinal fusion and disc degeneration, bulge or herniation. Students also interested in learning to find their optimal “plumb line” or moving away from habitual postural behaviors are also encouraged to attend. All levels welcome.
Cost: $75
PART 2: Yoga for Scoliosis 3:30-5pm
Are you looking to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to have spinal asymmetry? This workshop is for students and teachers working with scoliosis and spinal fusion. Together we will look at how scoliosis affects the entire body, including joint instability and the organs. Through specific actions and poses, students and teachers alike will learn to modify their practice both in the studio or in the home. Session 1 on Back Care is a prerequisite to the scoliosis portion of the day. All levels welcome.
Cost for PART 1 & 2: $145
NOTE PART 1 is a prerequisite for taking PART 2.
Why: You’re important, and you don’t need to be compromising your quality of life due to chronic back pain. Whether you’re learning this information for yourself, your students, or your loved ones, it has the potential to change your relationship to back issues for ever. Come and take hold of your quality of life!

About Rachel: After spending five years being braced as a child with Scoliosis, Rachel Jesien spent her adolescence in the confusion and fear that surrounds most structural spinal issues. When complications arose while she was pursuing a career in the performing arts, she began her endless search for healing and relief from chronic pain. After trying everything recommended by her doctors, physical therapists, and other holistic professionals, her path finally brought her to the work of Alison West and Deborah Wolk at the Yoga Union Center for Backcare and Scoliosis in New York City. Immediately after her first Yoga for Scoliosis class, she felt an inner calling ignite that she has followed whole-heartedly ever since. Since that fateful meeting, she has gone on to study with Elise Browning-Miller, Witold Fitz-Simons, and Amy Matthews who have greatly influenced her thoughtful approach to addressing each student's individual patterns and needs. She received her RYT certification under Alison West, as well as additional therapeutic Back Care and Rope Wall certifications through Yoga Union. Through her dedicated self-practice and under the tutelage of her teachers, Rachel's asymmetry has dramatically decreased, and her inner calling to spread this important work over the past decade has become a reality.
Her goal is to empower each of her clients to have an innate understanding of both their structural and habitual patterning. Through conscious, awareness building techniques, Rachel provides her students with the tools needed to begin their healing process. Rachel's work also addresses the energetic and emotional imbalances that are often associated with chronic back pain and spinal asymmetry. With her ever-curious attitude towards anatomy and balance, she hopes to foster joy, hope and illumination within each of her clients. She has a deep understanding of the body's miraculous ability to heal itself with proper guidance, and through this dedicated work, Rachel has helped students of all ages illuminate the root cause of their pain so that they can make lasting changes and regain their quality of life.

YIN YOGA IMMERSION with Lela
SUNDAY May 5
5:00-7:00pm
Intended to target our joints, ligaments and fascia, yin yoga is a practice of surrender; to discover our edge of resistance and then rest and surrender there in stillness. Yin is about listening and yielding to our body's wisdom. It teaches us to be present and discover what transpires.
We pause in a shape for anywhere from 3 - 5 minutes. Using gravity and our own body weight, we bypass muscles and lengthen fascia, connective tissue, and joints.

Somatic Release Breathwork™ with Julia Zern
SATURDAY May 11
3:00-4:30pm
Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a healing practice to release trauma, stress and tension that has been stored in the body. Through guided breath patterns, NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming ) and co-regulation of your nervous system this modality is self-healing on a deep subconscious level. In this practice we access the sympathetic nervous system to allow what's been stuck in the body to be expressed and moved out and invite in new more useful patterns. The session is done laying down with eyes closed and is set to music.
Somatic Release Breathwork™ often inspires insights on what's been keeping you stuck and creates a safe space to release the past and claim your authentic Self.
Please bring a water bottle and journal for insights.

YOGA NIDRA with Kellen
SATURDAY May 25
6:00-7:15pm
Yoga Nidra is a state of consciousness in which our body is asleep, and our mind is in a state of relaxation with expanded awareness; similar to that of deep meditation. In this form of consciousness, our mind and body are able to renew and heal. Done entirely lying down in a comfortable position, students are guided through an extensive body scan which allows for deep relaxation. As the body relaxes and releases tension, and the mind stills, our own healing energy is able to move freely, promoting optimal health. Yoga Nidra has been proven to regulate the nervous system, reverse heart disease, improve sleep, enhance awareness, as well as many other physical, emotional and mental benefits.
Join Kellen to find your Bliss.
All levels/bodies are welcome.
