Kripalu June 19-21, 2020 ~Breathe Your Way to a Pain-free Life with YogAlign

Michaelle is presenting a summer weekend workshop using breathing to align and tone your body from the inside out. Kripalu is the largest wellness retreat center in North America located in the beautiful Berkshire mountains of Western Massachusetts. Kripalu offers legendary organic healthy cuisine, a fresh water lake for swimming, and access to trails linked to the Appalachian trail system.  You can choose a private room with bath or share with others in semi private or dorm style rooms.  In this workshop, you will discover the power of your breath to tone your core and align your posture from the inside out. Michaelle Edwards, creator of YogAlign and FitAlign posture trainings, has been teaching for more than two decades, employing a teaching style that is experiential, educational, and fun.

Breathing affects every system in the body and can help you restore balance in not just the respiratory system, but also the cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, lymph, immune, and digestive systems. It can also strengthen upright posture, which can lead to a reduction in chronic pain. Come learn how to use the breath to tone your trunk muscles, which can then better support spine and joint stability, helping restore balance and agility in your movement. Focused breathing can help to rewire the brain’s innate software for movement, create better neuromuscular patterns, elevate mood and increase body perception in daily life.

This program uses comfortable, functional exercises and body positions that are safe, easy to do, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Yoga teachers, massage therapists, coaches, and workshop leaders may find these techniques to be particularly valuable and useful for their students and clients.
