Yoga for Neck & Shoulder Pain Begins Again June 14, 2012

The repeat version of this 6-week series will focus on the multiple causes of neck & shoulder pain: posture, grounding, head-pitched forward stance, breathing, and specific muscles, especially muscles of the back.

Always a richly textured experience, this series is worth repeating several times. Poses are powerful enough for advanced students yet all instruction is focused on beginners. The 4-5 p.m. time slot is perfect for ending the day.

Healthy Bones Yoga begins again June 14, 2012

Bones are wildly rich real estate in our bodies -- the source of red blood cells so famous for bringing oxygen into the rest of the body and much, much more.

In addition to learning specific yoga poses known to rebuild bone, we'll learn more about the function and structure of bones each week, enabling us to visualize with greater clarity our all-important innard scaffolding!  Join me.

Healthy Bones Yoga

Enjoy your little Buddha belly, if you have one. It's one of the few places we can store estrogen as we age, and estrogen is important for bone growth.

A little Buddha belly is also not likely to get in the way of the very easy yoga postures that have been proven to create new bone growth.

The most time for bone growth in our lives is our teen years. Anyone beyond them would benefit from this Healthy Bones Yoga course where we'll learn the handful of essential things for keeping our skeleton strong and vibrant.

Our precious red blood cells are made deep within the bone. That same location is the source of so much of our health and strength. Join me in learning how to sustain powerful bones and a strong skeleton for your whole life.

The 6-week series begins January 19 -- every Thursday, 4-5 p.m. Mound Street Yoga Center in Madison.
