Our hands are vital tools. We use them for basic survival, recreation, communication, and creative expression. An injury in the hand or wrist can be debilitating. Because many of our interactions with modern conveniences involve repetitive movements—such as typing, texting, or mousing—one of the most prevalent types of wrist ailment today is a repetitive strain/stress injury, or RSI. Many common wrist conditions,
such as carpel tunnel syndrome and tendinitis of the wrist, fall under this category.

Proper alignment of the hands and balanced muscle tone in the forearms can protect vulnerable wrists. If the wrists are weak or injured, they need to be progressively stretched and strengthened with a series of exercises and positions.

In this mini workshop we will support our daily activities in a less stressful and harmful manner. We will observe and engage in new patterns that are healthier and more conscious. Specifically, yoga can assist with healing RSI in the wrists by working on alignment in the upper body, so that the larger muscles in this region can better support and guide movements of the elbows, wrists, and hands. Contact the Front Desk at either facility for sign ups!

You have the power to change weak pelvic floor function! Help is all around you, especially within yourself! It starts with developing a subtle awareness, reactivation and proper exercise! On the foremost list of treatment
strategies for better bladder control is a prog ram of pelvic exercises. Numerous research studies have shown that strength training of the pelvic floor muscles is an effective way to treat incontinence issues. It’s no fun to leak when coughing, sneezing, or laughing or to have any sort of discomfort in the saddle region. It’s not too late! In this mini workshop we will focus on strengthening the Pelvic Pyramid – a powerful trio of muscles (the transverse abdominal, the multifidus and the pelvic floor muscles) that support and stabilize the lower spine and pelvis.
We will explore mindful and potent exercises to promote healing, restore muscle tone, improve bladder control and support the action of easy elimination. This will be a fun focus! Bring a note papad, camera or voice recorder to remind yourself later of important specifics – you will be able to “take the best, leave the rest.”
