Nyon Switzerland Change Your Posture, Change Your Life Workshop
2026-05-09 08:30 - 2026-05-10 16:00 | https://www.yogamovesnyon.ch/, Rue du Marché 10 1260, Nyon, Vaud, Switzerland
This two-day workshop with YogAlign® and FitAlign® creator Michaelle Edwards, hosted at Yoga Moves in Nyon, Switzerland, is a true game changer.
A longtime bodyworker, posture educator, and owner of Kauai Yoga School, Michaelle Edwards has developed powerful somatic exercises and breath-based techniques that engage the deep core of the body. This work supports recalibration of the nervous system and restores balanced, efficient posture aligned with our original human blueprint for movement.
Traveling from her home in Kauai, Hawaiʻi, Michaelle brings her unique YogAlign® self-care method to Switzerland—teaching how to use the mechanics of breathing to build deep core strength, retrain the brain for automatic postural support, and create a pain-free, resilient body. These techniques help protect joints, prevent over-stretching, and add longevity to movement as we age.
YogAlign® emphasizes proper alignment and bone stabilization in everyday activities, helping practitioners reawaken both body and mind while cultivating strength, stability, and ease.
This workshop is safe for all ages and fitness levels. Massage and physical therapists, dance instructors, yoga teachers, and fitness professionals will gain valuable tools to better support their clients’ alignment and long-term well-being. All participants, if they approve, will be photographed before and after the workshops showing the postural rebalancing effects of YogAlign.
YogAlign® has been shown to alleviate pain associated with herniated or bulging discs, rotator cuff injuries, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, TMJ, and chronic pain. Beyond physical benefits, the practice has also supported individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and digestive disorders.
Contact Yoga Moves owner Andrea Feely to register for the workshop scheduled for Saturday and Sunday May 9 and 10th. Tuition is 500CHF includes an ebook of Michaelle’s latest book, Breathe Your Way to Better Posture and a Pain-free Life. Phone is 022 362 13 13 or email her at ymnyon@bluewin.ch.
