Joyful Life
Reset with us during a virtual mini-retreat on September 11 & 12 from 9 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. PST
Do you feel like your life is missing JOY? You’re in luck because we’re hosting a workshop to help you break through feelings of depression and use your emotions as tools to live a fuller and more joyful life.
If you've never done a backbend before, have injuries, have physical limitations, or are afraid of backbending, this workshop is a wonderful place to start. You will be cared for and shown how to do each step. Also, once you register, you'll receive Esak's instructional video that you can study at home before the event.
Our goal with backbending isn't to get you into a particular shape. Rather, we want to safely introduce spinal movement with proper technique so you can experience the many benefits of this practice (here are just a few of the many listed):
Increased circulation
Lengthening and toning of the abdominal muscles
Improved sleep
More vitality and clarity
Improved digestion
More capacity for breathing deeply
Improved spine health and back strength
Less pain in the neck and shoulders
It feels good!
