WHAT TO EXPECT
Saturday, August 23, 2025
Session 1:
Healthy Lower‑Back
Build a strong, pain-free lower back through targeted core strength, hip mobility, and spinal stability exercises. You’ll learn why stability must precede mobility and how proper muscle activation—not just stretching—creates lasting pain relief. Leave with practical techniques to strengthen critical muscle groups and improve spinal function for immediate comfort and long-term back health.
Session 2:
Shoulders & Upper‑Back
This session targets thoracic opening, shoulder strength, and mobility while addressing common muscle imbalances. You’ll learn how to strengthen weak upper-back muscles, correct posture issues caused by yoga-only programs, and isolate spinal mobility to avoid over-reliance on the hips.
Sunday, August 24, 2025
Session 3:
Balance, Healthy Knees & Ankles
Session 4:
Deepening Hip & Shoulder Flexibility
