What is ‘good posture’?

This three-hour workshop will clarify why establishing a 'neutral spinal alignment' can support better breathing, core stability (via intra-abdominal pressure), and optimal function of the nervous system and whole body.

You will learn to spot common postural misalignments in your students and have the chance to practice exercises to support lower back health. We will also examine common yoga poses with an eye on the three girdles of stability working together in harmony (abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic), and explore how widening one’s perception of ‘core stability' can help support a strong and stable base for movement, on and off the mat.

This workshop is geared toward yoga instructors and trainees but will contain valuable information for yoga students as well. Registered Yoga Teachers can apply for CEUs with Yoga Alliance following this course.
