Just Say “No” to Back Pain!

This unique workshop series is clinically proven to reduce pain and provide relief for the low back! This is a yoga workshop series but, Joseph Pilates himself studied a bit of yoga! You will recognize some of the Pilates techniques and series (like side lying) over our weeks together.

Robin comes from the viniyoga tradition, which is known by their yoga therapy techniques. She is also a local master teacher. Robin’s book and audio CD is included in this series for your home practice and to have another tool in your toolbox to stay mobile and painfree.
