When back pain occurs: Should you practice or would rest be more helpful. Which postures are healing, and which are troublesome? Is fear a factor and if so, how do you unravel that? Are there times when ‘working through pain’ is appropriate? How do you learn to feel the variance in your own ‘edges’, so that you know when to respectfully back away, modify a posture, or rest it out? How long should a back injury take to heal? What other movements or even yoga postures in your daily life, are ‘unwittingly’ contributing to your back pain? And lastly, can you actually feel, when your spine is being fully supported by your abdominal muscles, as you move through your asana practice? Join Sherry Sunday 6/14 and heal your back within your yoga practice at Exhale Venice from 2pm-4pm.

Join Sherry this Saturday 5/2 for Heal Your Knees at Exhale Venice from 12:30-3:30pm.

Our knees are: shock absorbers when we land, springboards when we jump, transmitters when we are still, and propel us when step forward. All of these combine as beautiful links in any or all of these ways for balance postures. This class is designed to help you understand why your knees ache, specific diagnoses, and various degrees of each. We’ll discuss “high signs” with knees, and ways to prevent further discomforts. We’ll work with ways that ankles and hips contribute to their achiness and modifications in postures to prevent these. And finally, we’ll look at how new patterns can be strengthened both on and off the mat.
