Relax Your Neck and Shoulders

So many of us hold so much stress and tension in this topmost part of the spine. Join us for a rejuvenating yoga workshop designed to relax and unlock your neck and shoulders. Through yoga poses, targeted stretches, and mindful breathing exercises, we’ll address common areas of tension and stress.

Led by Dr. Jeff Manning, Doctor of Chiropractic, we'll learn about the anatomy of these key areas so you can understand the underlying causes of neck and shoulder discomfort and learn techniques to alleviate pain and improve flexibility. Perfect for all levels, this workshop will invite you to release built-up tension, reconnect with your body, and find some ease. Take a deep breath, let go, and embrace the relief. Please note: we may engage some partner work as part of this workshop.

Join us Saturday, November 30 from 10 am - 12 pm at The Perch!

You're invited to wear comfortable clothing you can move around in (i.e., yoga clothes, sweatpants, or other clothing you'd wear to the gym). If you have a yoga mat, you're encouraged to bring it. (We do have mats to borrow, though, if you don't have one!) You'll be invited to take off your shoes and socks, so please plan accordingly.
