This blissful workshop is designed to give you an internal spinal massage from tail to top. Poses, personalized propping and hands-on adjustments ensure therapeutic poses that reach into and release the deepest layers of spinal tension in your body - the core muscles that connect to your spine. We'll combine fully supported release poses with gentle movements that massage your spinal muscles from the inside, out. You'll find and feel layers you've been ignoring for far too long and leave feeling deliciously stretched and open.
