Join physiotherapist and yoga teacher Reanna Montopoli for a 3-part series of workshops focused on improving strength, alignment and flexibility. Reanna will share her knowledge of anatomy, as well as common areas of weakness and tightness. Participants will be guided through therapeutic exercises to strengthen, lengthen, and improve movement patterns which can help reduce their risk of injury. We will also move through a yoga asana practice with a focus on a particular region of the body, with guidance in optimal alignment and muscle activation. Class will finish with guided meditation for integration and relaxation. This is a great series for yoga practitioners, athletes, and anyone interested in learning a bit more about their body, and how to keep their muscles and joints healthy.
