Mindflow Yoga:
Slow movements connected with intention and breath, creating a deep sense of strength and a healthy range of motion. All levels welcome.
20 million Americans are participating in yoga; and even more express interest, but are too afraid to try.
Are you interested, but not sure where to start?
Confused about all the different types of yoga or afraid to get injured?
There is much talk in the media these days about yoga injuries, the level of the yoga teacher's experience/training, temperature of the room, type of yoga, type of people who attend, what the benefits are, and more.
It's no wonder people are afraid to start with so much conflicting info and different personal stories and experiences from each person participating.
If you are interested in trying yoga, but feel a bit confused, Shelly Prosko, Physical Therapist & Yoga Therapist with over 17 years of experience & training, is pleased to teach another 6 week Beginner Series in Sylvan Lake, AB!
Tuesdays, Sept. 1 - Oct. 6, 6:45 - 7:45pm
This class is by pre-registration only, and is limited to only 14 people.
Please contact Studio Upstairs at 403.597.3844 to register!!
Banff Pain Conference: Pain Society of Alberta. Join Shelly as she presents "Yoga for Persistent Pain" at the Pain Society of Alberta's 9th Annual Banff Pain Conference. Life is Now Pain Care Yoga states: "Pain is one of the most common reasons for individuals to seek assistance from medical, therapeutic and yoga practitioners. Yet, few educational systems in western or eastern health care include knowledge acquisition related to pain or to the lived experience of pain. The techniques, discipline and systems of classic yoga are well-suited for integration with pain care and pain self-management techniques. A well-rounded yoga practice, incorporating any lineage of yoga asana, is one path that individuals can follow in their recovery from chronic pain conditions."
