Healthy Postures for Scoliosis / Backcare Workshop

Applying yoga to our daily lives
What is “good” posture when one has a structural imbalance like scoliosis?
In this workshop, we will explore a new perspective on living with scoliosis. We will look at how to put our physical and mental body at ease when we sit, walk, and stand, carry bags, brush our teeth etc. and learn how to adapt and work harmoniously with, rather than against, our given body, through awareness and understanding the relationship with gravity. With mindful adjustments to our postures and daily activities, there might be answers for those who experience restless sleep and tiredness on waking, and for those who experience chronic aches and pains in their shoulders or back.

For all levels. Limited capacity workshop
.

To fully benefit from this workshop, it is recommended that participants attend the Yoga for Scoliosis Introduction workshop or a private session with Adelene prior to this.

Relax and Restore: Guided Relaxation for the Restless Mind

We depend on our senses for information… to respond, to defend, to enjoy, to interact or to simply carry out daily life. When the mind is being continuously bombarded with information, one may feel restless, agitated, unsettled etc. Would ‘rest’ be the answer? Experience the power of active rest through the practice of restorative yoga and guided relaxation as a form of healing to our physical, mental and energetic body.

Appreciate that our senses feed the mind and trigger various respond systems within the body. The neurotransmitter receptors may become unresponsive upon prolonged exposure as a result of constant firing. This vicious circle affects the quality of sleep, energy level throughout the day, addictions and behavioural challenges.

In this workshop, Adelene has carefully put together a series of restorative postures intended to break the cycle of endless stimulation. There will be guided relaxation to undo unnecessary tension held and ease the mind. Restorative practice aims to alleviate physical or emotional dis-ease, promotes inner healing, and offer space for complete rest.

Allow space and time to unwind, recharge, Relax and Restore with Adelene! Limited capacity workshop.

£30         Booking soon!

Yoga for Back Care: Upper Back, Neck + Shoulders Workshop

'Hunchback', 'round back' or 'humpback'…

An abnormal forward curve of the upper spine (thoracic), very much affected by the sedentary Western lifestyle, or in some cases a structural dysfunction. Muscles along the upper back may become chronically tight, encouraged by collapsed postural habits. At a physiological level, this disorder may potentially affect one’s breathing efficiency; cause unnecessary tension to build up along the neck and shoulders; and may be a cause for depression. Those with hyperkyphosis may also feel the need to take extra deep breaths or may sigh at frequent intervals.

In this workshop, we will practise various simple but effective yoga postures combined with breathing practices tailored specifically for those with hyperkyphosis, and explore the support of our lungs and musculoskeletal system in addressing this condition. Many have experienced how this practice has freed up embedded tightness, encouraged fullness of breath, and released tension along the neck and shoulders. Through awareness, we will also introduce healthy postures into our daily life.

For all levels, suitable for kyphoscoliosis. Limited capacity workshop.

For enquiries or to register your interest, please email Adelene (adelene@relaxandrestore.com).

Yoga for Back Care: Lower Back Workshop

Muscles along the lower back can often become locked and tight, causing pain, spasm and compression. This can be affected by a sedentary lifestyle, arise as a result of past of recent injuries, or be encouraged by poor postural habits. At a physiological level, this condition may affect your digestive, reproductive and urinary systems, causing unnecessary tension to build up in the back. With chronic lower back discomfort and fatigue, one may experience restless sleep and distress after long periods of sitting, standing or walking.

In this limited capacity workshop, we will practise simple but effective yoga postures and breathing practices tailored specifically for those experiencing lower back discomfort, and explore how our organic system and energetic body could potentially support our back. Relaxation techniques will also be introduced to alleviate symptoms of discomfort and we will explore healthy postures applicable to our daily activities.

Many have found this practice to help lighten the spine, reduce compression, release muscular and organ tension, and improve overall well-being.

For enquiries or to register your interest, please email Adelene (adelene@relaxandrestore.com).

Yoga for Back Care Courses

Experts now recognise that the increasingly sedentary lives that we lead contribute greatly to the back pain epidemic that is now being experienced in the Western world. Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. In these Yoga for Back Care classes, we will explore the therapeutic aspects of hatha yoga as a form of healing to our physical, mental and energetic body. Adelene's teaching focuses on anatomy and healthy alignment, with an emphasis on breath and spinal integration within the body.

This is a series of small group classes (limited to no more than 10 people), providing individual attention to each student and the back condition presented, whether to alleviate symptoms of discomfort, strengthen the back or simply to improve posture. In order to benefit fully from the course, it is suggested to have a one-to-one private consultation with Adelene prior to the start of the course.

Each person will be reviewed during the first class, prior to the practice. During the course we will also look at how to maintain healthy postures and how to apply this to our daily lives. Each class will end with restorative postures to alleviate any discomfort, promoting self-repair and healing within systems of our body.

These classes are suitable for anyone with scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, neck and shoulder discomfort, lower back pain, sciatica, sacroiliac instability and general back pain. For all levels including complete beginners.

Each course is carefully designed and tailored to the need of the small group, thus content and practices may differ from course to course. Therefore students are welcome to revisit the course for continuous practice and guidance.
