Improve Posture and Boost Brain Health
Michaelle Edwards returns to Kripalu in November 2026. Kripalu is North America’s largest retreat center for yoga and holistic health, located in the Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts. It operates as a nonprofit offering immersive programs, teacher trainings, and rest-and-renewal retreats focused on yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, and personal growth.
Michaelle and her assistants offer techniques to support your brain through stronger posture and breathing muscles.
Increase Cognitive Vitality
In this program, learn breath-based YogAlign techniques to support your brain health as you age. Emerging research suggests that forward head posture may restrict blood flow and glymphatic drainage—factors linked to cognitive decline and plaque buildup. In this workshop, you’ll gain practical yoga tools to improve your posture, enhance circulation, and support lifelong brain vitality.
Join YogAlign founder and licensed massage therapist Michaelle Edwards in exploring pioneering approaches that integrate breath-based alignment with functional movement to restore natural posture and optimize health.
In this retreat, you will discover:
Unique breathing techniques that tone the core and align posture from the inside out
Self-massage to stimulate blood flow, nourish tissues, and increase kinesthetic awareness
Optimal alignment using painless and safe body positions and poses
Fascial freedom of the connective tissue web, which is a major determinant of our posture, movement, and moods
