For most people, pain is caused by inadequate alignment due to repetitive strain, and a disconnection of the self on an energetic and emotional level. Movement work, including Yoga and Pilates, creates strength, stability and flexibility, leading to improved posture and proper bio-mechanics. These practices cultivate a mind-body connection and lead to improved posture, stress relief and self-awareness
Both bodywork and yoga support the release and re-direction of energy rather than internalizing and constraining it.
For most of us, doing less, but with more intelligence and proper biomechanics will organize these systems.
By balancing the nervous system through bodywork and neuromuscular re-patterning we can create a sense of grace and ease.
