Come explore your relationship to chronic pain through the lens of yoga philosophy, gentle movement, and mindfulness practices. Each person’s experience with chronic pain is unique—everyone has a different body, different emotional reactions, different strengths and different limitations. This class will meet you where you are, help you to feel that you are not alone, and provide tools and concepts that can be used in “real life.”
Although some might think that yoga and chronic pain are not compatible, the practice of yoga is accessible to all bodies and we have had a great deal of success using yoga to help with this condition. In the six-week Yoga for Chronic Pain series, we will explore the mind/body connection to chronic pain, look into the habitual ways of being with our pain, and investigate how we can begin to change those, finding some ease and joy again in our bodies.
This class is taught by certified yoga therapist Rachel Plies through the Integrated Movement Therapy program at the Samarya Center. This Working With Chronic Pain series and it’s description were developed at the Samarya Center.
This six week series costs $85 – early bird discount is $75 before January 15th.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of injuary or limitation.
