~RADIANT HEART~

A Yoga Workshop
to open the shoulders and upper back

with Daniella Cotreau, Anusara-Inspired Yoga Instructor

@ The Yoga Studio in Campbell
505 East Campbell Ave, Campbell, CA.

Saturday February 25th

2:30-4:30pm

In this workshop we will focus therapeutically on the opening of the upper back and shoulders to prepare us to move into a practice of backbends. Backbends are the most therapeutic and healing poses for the entire spine when practiced in proper alignment and with the utmost integrity.

They are also inherently heart-opening poses. We will use Anusara Yoga’s UPA’s (Universal Principles of Alignment) to first open the upper back and shoulders to move effectively, safely and joyfully into and out of back-bending poses.

We will connect to and allow the radiance and light that lives in all our hearts to shine as we open our hearts with greater and natural ease!

“Remember Your Light and What You Live For”

This workshop is for all levels

YOGA FOR A HEALTY LOWER BACK

with Anusara-Inspired Yoga Instructor
Daniella Cotreau

Summer 2012

2-4pm

@ The Yoga Studio
505 East Campbell Ave. Campbell, Ca.

Due to the rise in technology, we are in front of a computer screen more than we ever have before. We sit in chairs for prolonged periods of time, we drive more and we experience higher levels of stress. All these factors contribute to the health and integrity of our lower backs.

Our legs govern the health of the lower back. Tight hamstrings, psoas, and the placement of our femur bones forward create an unstable foundation and the perfect formula for back pain and injury.

Due to these factors, many have lost the natural curve in the lower back. This loss of curve in the lumbar spine is the perfect set up for  injuries commonly found in the lower lumbar L4/L5/S1 area causing bulging or herniated discs, chronic low back pain, chronic tightness and stiffness.

In this workshop:

We will apply the highly effective and therapeutic Anusara Yoga Universal Principles of Alignment to:

**Open and release the lower back muscles

**Re-align the femur bones and strengthen the inner legs (adductors) to help bring the curve back

**Through the integrity of aligning and strengthening the legs, find freedom from pain in the lower back.

**Target, stretch and clear the psoas muscle

**Balance and ground the nervous system

I will show you how the Psoas muscles, legs and core play a significant role in lower back health issues, tension, injury and pain. You will learn how to build strength and flexibility in your lower back safely. Experience how you can use this specific modality of yoga to heal an existing injury, free yourself from chronic lower back pain and tension.

This is a workshop not to miss! You deserve to live pain free!

All levels of yoga experience are welcome.

~Yoga and Freedom of the Heart~

with Anusara-Inspired Yoga Instructor Daniella Cotreau

Time and location TBA

$45 per student

In this workshop we will use meditation, breath awareness practices, the therapeutic aspects of Anusara-Inspired yoga, and TRE Trauma/Tension Release Exercises to prepare the body and nervous system to literally shake out stored emotional blockages from past experiences or old habits that keep us engaged in endless cycles of negative holding patterns.

Through this process you will have the opportunity to release stored tension/trauma from your body/being. You will learn more about yourself, your body and observe the areas of your body that are influenced by old thought patterns or emotional wounds. Through these practices you will release that old energy, free yourself of the past and make space for what you would like to create anew. You will learn how to trust your body’s innate wisdom and allow lightness, freedom and balance into your whole being.

As a result, this work can help chronic back issues/pain, digestive issues, hip tightness, depression, anxiety, and bring balance and lightness to your whole body and nervous system.

The primary focus of this workshop to gain new and easy tools on how to move through challenging experiences in life gracefully, compassionately and with less suffering and to free yourself from it’s manifestation into physical pain or ailments.

Any level of yoga experience is welcome.

The space created will be quiet, safe, and sacred.

PLEASE JOIN US AND BRING YOUR OPEN HEART…
