New Ongoing 6-Week Series for 2021

Annelise has seamlessly integrated techniques from Viniyoga, Subtle Yoga, Forrest Yoga, Energy Medicine, Dr. Baxter Bell, Doug Keller, Dr. Linda Lack and others. When possible, this former TV producer uses anatomy to help participants visualize from the inside out.

The therapeutic postures from the Viniyoga tradition focus on integrated breath (pranayama) and postures (asana) for optimal health, healing and beyond.  Viniyoga is the evidenced-based yoga for chronic low-back pain, as proven in the National Institutes of Health study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.  

The breath-centric practice uses neuro-muscular programming, where dysfunctional patterns are re-wired by repetitions designed to carve new neuro-muscular pathways, awakening the sense acuity pathways and creating a new way of movement.

You will also:

  • Break out of slump-land with the help of a Posture Coach, improve your postural alignment, and alleviate “forward-head” and “text-neck”
  • Learn life-long skills to maintain a flexible and supple spine, and prevent future pain and strain ~ “You are as young as your spine is flexible”.
  • Link the flow of your breath to the movement of your spine.  Practice breathing and meditation techniques to renew energy for overall well-being, cultivate the relaxation response, improve mood, combat anxiety and depression, and enhance the cardio-vascular and nervous systems.
  • Safely and effectively treat chronic pain and inflammation
  • Strengthen weak muscles; develop core abdominal strength to support your aching back
  • Identify and release chronic contractions, stiffness, and holding patterns that keep you “stuck” in pain
  • Develop healthy movement patterns and range of motion

Adaptive poses are presented, and everyone is encouraged to respect their body and move at their own level. Beginners welcome.  If you have undergone trauma, suffered an injury, surgery, or simply want to find release and relief — get back in action with this class!
