Winter Retreat: Yoga for Neck and Shoulders with Mary Wixted

161 Edenfield Avenue, Watertown MA

Description

Whether we spend time at a desk, shopping or communicating online, or reading a book – it is difficult to avoid slumping, rounding our backs and leaning our head and shoulders forward. Many of the stresses of 2020 has landed in our upper bodies, leaving us with upper back and neck aches. During winter, we react to the cold by closing our chests and hunching our shoulders. During this winter retreat, Mary will introduce you to yoga poses that align your arms, neck and shoulders, help alleviate neck and shoulder tension, and bring flexibility, openness, stability and strength to your shoulder girdle. This retreat will be beneficial for those having shoulder or neck issues but also for anyone who wants to experience greater ease and freedom in their upper body. It is important the students have a basic understanding of yoga to join. The sequence of poses that will be taught by Mary were designed by Lois Steinberg, a senior Iyengar teacher and expert in Iyengar yoga therapeutics, with whom Mary has trained. https://fb.me/e/2aSkGgLgg
