The yoga world isn't short on spine cues.
We've been told to lengthen our spine, tuck our tailbone, draw our navel to our spine, lift from the crown of our head, and keep our neck long (and so many more cues), all in the name of "safety."
But those cues?
They often work against the way the spine is actually built to move.
And no matter how many modifications or props you throw at it, if the pose itself is built on faulty mechanics, you're going to end up with pain, injury, and frustration, for you and your students.
Because a lot of these poses?
They weren't built with human movement in mind. They're structurally inorganic. They fight the body's natural rhythms. And the cues we've been taught? They just amplify the fight.
The problem isn't your students' spines (or yours).
The problem is how we've been teaching the spine, and the shapes we've been asking it to perform.
This 90 minute workshop will break it all down, the cues, the poses, frankly, if it involves the spine, we're covering it so that you have all the tools to teach in a way that makes anatomical sense and feels better in real bodies and puts those spine and SI joint injuries to rest.
This isn't just a tune-up for upward facing dog, bridge, or shoulder stand.
We're talking every spinal segment, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and SI joints, plus how the shoulder and pelvis interact with the spine, in poses like forward folds, backbends, twists, side bends, inversions, seated poses, standing poses, and beyond.
