yoga for healthy aging
​



​Welcome to the Yoga Apothecary, our new workshop series for the prevention and relief of pain and discomfort from common conditions.
​
Yoga can't heal all that ails us, but there are many common conditions that yoga can help prevent, relieve, and sometimes, even eradicate. ​At the apothecary you can pick-up a masterfully created yoga "tonic" specific to your needs.  We don't make any claims to cure, but experience has taught us that yoga can help tremendously to address familiar maladies when performed in conjunction with consulting your doctor. 

The magic ingredient to these "yogic remedies" is, of course, you! Learn how to be an active participant in your own health and healing with the help of yoga. Each workshop addresses a particular health issue, and includes developing understanding of the condition, a yoga practice to address it, and a simple sequence you do at home, as directed. See our first two offerings, below — and look for new additions ahead!​
SCIATICA: THAT PAIN IN THE BUTT
SAT SEPTEMBER 21, 2-4PM | ANN DYER CERVANTES
in-person, via zoom + 14 day recording + handouts
​
40% of Americans experience sciatica at some point in their lives. Caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, sciatic pain can be a dull or searing pain deep in the buttock, in the low back, around the rim of the pelvis and/or down the back of the leg. Sciatica often increases with age, and can be exacerbated by long periods of sitting, making it increasingly common in younger adults as well. Most times it's simple to address through yoga, if you're following the appropriate movement prescription. Learn how with Ann.
KYPHOSIS: DUMP THE HUMP
SAT NOVEMEBER 2, 2-4PM | ANN DYER CERVANTES
​in-person, via zoom + 14 day recording + handouts

​"Dowager's hump" is a horrible, old-fashioned reference to kyphosis, an increased curvature of the upper spine. Long associated with aging in both men and women, kyphosis is now occurring in young people, as well, do to prolonged viewing of phones and screens. But good news! In most common cases kyphosis can be mitigated through a simple yoga formula anyone can do. Benefits can be quick and dramatic, and include relief of neck and shoulder pain, reduction of falls, a free-er breath and increased confidence. The longer you wait, the worse it gets, so let's get started!
