In this 4-session class, begin your journey of body awareness with the healthy basics of back and joint alignment. A small piece of tape placed on your back tells you exactly where your spine is most vulnerable. Learn to sense the interplay between muscle tension and bone alignment. This awareness will simultaneously release you from pain; prevent further injury; and maximize movement efficiency. You can feel better and be yourself again.
Instructors: Jean Couch, Founder and Director of the Balance Center and author of The Runner's World Yoga Book, and Jenn Sherer, Certified Balance Instructor.
