Yoga is such a joyful experience when your body flows freely in breath, bandha and movement.

Sometimes, however, you can experience unexpected resistance, discomfort, weakness or even pain during your practice.

Your hips won't open. Your arms lose power.  Your shoulder blades stiffen. Your knees go weak. You can even feel cold, heavy or tired.

What is going on? Why do these things happen and more importantly, what can you do to work through these issues?

Sometimes the answer lies in better body alignment and adjusted asana, but sometimes the resistance or discomfort persists. These are the issues that we will address in this workshop.

This workshop examines a range of 20 resistances, discomforts and weaknesses experienced during yoga practice, explaining the cause and origin of each one and revealing the way forward through them.

Issues include:

• Weak knees (front and back)

• Tight hamstrings

• Tight adductors

• Closed hips

• Pain in the back at L5/S1

• Tight mid-back

• Tightness between the shoulder blades

• Tight shoulders

• Pain and weakness in the upper arm

• Swelling or tightness in the neck

Are you experiencing any of these issues in your yoga practice?

Are you curious to know what they are related to and how best to release them?

Then this is the workshop for you.
