Learn a set of yoga exercises that can reverse an overly rounded upper back.

Slouching or hunching is far from flattering, but more importantly, recent studies are confirming that a hunched posture is associated not only with increased neck tension and impaired mobility but also with increased risk of falls, shortness of breath, heart and lung disease, as well as depression and anxiety. The good news is that a hunched posture (hyperkyphosis) is reversible. Once you learn the key yoga exercises, all you need is 2 yoga blocks and 5-10 minutes a day. 

Take your practice upside down in this fun workshop that will support you wherever you are in your journey upside down. Whether you are new to handstands, or an experienced arm-balancer, we have something for you. Learn about handstand, headstand, crow pose, forearmstand, plus special requests on the spot. Bring an open mind and a playful spirit.

The times require our courageous, active engagement in social change - we must move beyond talk toward inspired action, especially among the yoga community and others who seek to alleviate suffering in the world. Together we’ll explore the role of one's yoga practice in matters of social justice, racial equality and personal dharma through conversation and slow flow/deep stretch practice designed to elevate our peaceful resting state.

For 13 weeks beginning Dec 4, join Melina and build community while exploring practices that span a range of focuses—some are dietary, some meditative, some yoga- or exercise-based, and others geared to sleep or self-care. Melina’s intention is to inspire each person to fall in love with simple weekly practices that you can do at home while sheltering in. She’ll teach you more about nutrition for the seasons, Ayurveda for modern times, and offer yoga tools for stress management and grounding.

With anatomy and movement expert Theresa Murphy as your guide, feel, study, and play in and around the upper back as you bring good health and well-being to the spine, ease in the neck & shoulders, and an open & loving heart.

Are you a yoga teacher who’s reckoning with racial unrest and feeling stuck…stuck doing the same poses, chants, and meditations but unable to show up in the current racial climate in a way that feels authentic to you? Do you wish to “be the change” but have no idea where to start, how to start, or even if you really want to start? Do you flounder between “just focusing on the yoga” and feeling guilty because you’re unsure how to address issues of racial justice in your yoga space? Do you just want to understand the relationship between yoga and racial equity once and for all? Are you ready to do the hard work? This training series will meet five Thursday evenings, October 29 – December 3 (no class on Thanksgiving).
