Vancouver Yoga Conference this past weekend at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Yoga garden, yoga vendors, ooommm coming from all directions, & a busy/happy/joyful energy. What a great time!
I caught up with my friends at Halfmoon Yoga Products - providing props and love to everyone in the yoga garden!
I was able to get in 2 workshops with my mentor Susi Hately - from Functional Synergy therapeutic yoga!
1. Bio mechanics of the core
2. Considerations for cancer survivors
In addition, I was privileged to assist Susi for her workshop on managing back pain. We had a blast. 7 great yogis who have had back pain and/or have yoga students who have back pain. We covered a great range of topics throughout the day including: what back pain is all about - how the pain is manifestation of dysfunction occurring elsewhere in the body, exploring default patterns, discovering leg bone to pelvis connection, as well as pelvis to spine connection, and spine to shoulder blades connection - how these can all have potential to cause discomfort or pain depending on how congruent these connections are. It was a wonderful day of exploration!
I am excited to share insights from the other workshops in further blog posts.
When I got home, my husbands tells me that he can barely move his neck.... well it is a good thing his wife is a yoga therapist. We have a date in the yoga room in about 5 minutes.... poor guys is a menace on the road as he is having trouble making shoulder checks.... I'll be working with him for the good of all the drivers in our local area..!
