Cosmic Alignment: Yoga Therapy for the Spine

A two-day workshop with international teacher Leila Stuart

24 – 25 February 2023

in Adelaide

I am thrilled to be hosting Leila Stuart for her first workshop in Adelaide. I met Leila through our mutual association with Donna Farhi, with whom Leila co-authored the book Pathways to a Centred Body (2017).  This workshop topic is the core of her new book Theoretical Anatomy: Therapeutic Applications of Embodied Movement and Awareness (forthcoming 2024). Leila’s transformational system of therapeutic yoga evolved from her desire to empower patients and students on the path to self-healing. Whether challenged with physical, mental or spiritual issues, Leila skillfully guides students toward a felt sense of their wholeness by exploring experiential anatomy and the interplay between awareness, gentle movement, breath, and mental patterns.

In this workshop we will explore the spine through experiential anatomy, somatic inquiry, yoga therapy principles, movement repatterning, asana, breath, sound, and mental perspective.     We will use the koshic model to discover safe ways to improve spine health, alignment, stability, and mobility, and to understand how spinal awareness can lead to deep personal transformation.

This workshop is suitable for experienced yoga students, yoga teachers, personal trainers, physiotherapists, and massage therapists interested in learning slow, mindful, and accessible movements for healing the spine and neck.
