When we suffer from chronic pain it can impact our lives in so many ways and express on different levels of our being – physical, emotional, and mental.

This four-week series is designed for anyone who has experienced chronic pain and would like to use yoga to address and manage this pain. Using tools from a broad-based perspective of yoga, we will explore strategies to work with pain at various levels of the body. The series will provide information about the “neurological pain loop” for both acute and chronic pain and differences between the two types of pain. Each class will include asana (poses/movement), as well as pranayama (breath) practices, meditation techniques for pain management, and yoga philosophy. The series is appropriate for any level of yoga practitioner – no prior experience required. If you would like to lessen the control that chronic pain has over your body and your life, this series is for you!

Includes a 10-minute phone consultation with Kathleen prior to the start of the first class.
