Yoga For Anxiety and Depression
All Levels
Sunday, January 15, 1-3 pm
Souk Studio, 12 West 27th St
$50
Unfortunately, for many, the holidays and the post holiday period remain one of the most challenging times of the year. In addition, the news has been reporting a general rise in both anxiety and depression across the US since the arrival of COVID 19, coupled with the political tension and divisiveness that have stressed the nation particularly since the storming of the Capitol.
My workshop, Yoga for Anxiety and Depression, on Sunday January 15 1-3pm offers tools to help us cope.
Studying in greater depth or learning something new is a tonic in itself. So join me for my now classic workshop, Your Amazing Shoulders and The Scapulo-Humeral Rhythm, on Sunday, January 22 1-3pm for an experiential workshop on how your shoulder-blades and arms move in relation to each other and in different poses and relations to gravity and leave with all kinds of fun ways to feel, sense and work with this important structural relationship. All levels. No prior knowledge of anatomy necessary.
In a warm, comfortable environment,
• Learn pose modifications suitable for anxiety and for depression.
• Learn simple breathing practices that can stimulate or calm.
• Develop your own emergency took kit.
• Develop short go-to practices.
Both workshops are at the beautiful new Souk studio at 12 West 27th Street, 2nd floor--practically next door to the old Yoga Union.
I look forward to seeing you there! Please contact Souk for any registration issues (929) 459-8938

Your Amazing Shoulder!
All Levels
Sunday, January 22, 1-3 pm
Souk Studio, 12 West 27th St
$50
Alison has been in the vanguard of teaching the all-important Scapulo-Humeral Rhythm (coupled movement of shoulder blade, collarbone, spine and upper arm bone) nationally and internationally. She has developed vivid and accessible tools for understanding and teaching this material.
In your Amazing Shoulder: The Scapulo-Humeral Rhythm
• Learn in clear, simple language the anatomy of the shoulder.
• Learn how to protect your shoulders and your lower back through sound bio-mechanics. Understanding this can prevent injury and also increase your ease and confidence in weight-bearing poses.
• Apply this information to load-bearing poses like plank to down dog, and handstand and more, and see the progressive transformation.
• Develop the strength to support this important rhythm and get to love your serratus anterior! And see how understanding this rhythm can even help you with your leg raises!
• Teachers: learn a variety of useful tools to help you and your students enjoy ways to both explore the scapulo-humeral rhythm and make it both fun and interesting.
