Discover how gentle movement, breathwork, and relaxation can support your body's natural lymphatic flow.

Leave feeling refreshed and empowered with practical self-care tools you can incorporate into your daily routine to support your overall well-being.
Amir will teach you how to create a customized routine to address your specific low back dysfunctions and related pains. He'll review the anatomy of the lower back and sacroiliac joint, as well as common misalignments, muscles spasms, compression, and disc issues. Using yoga therapeutics, as well as techniques from Egoscue, Somatics, and Thai Yoga Massage, Amir will offer tools to self-evaluate and find ease from both chronic and acute conditions.
Ahmed will begin with a guided meditation accompanied by music from Surge.DJ, then move into an all-levels vinyasa flow guided by breath and a live DJ soundscape. You’ll move with the music, not just to it, building energy as you flow and softening as you breathe. Expect to sweat, breathe deeply, and leave feeling clear, grounded, energized, and completely reset. All bodies welcome.
