This class is intended to alleviate the pain of manual labor and welcomes anyone and everyone, but specifically those who think “yoga isn’t for me.” Yoga For Laborers is a class designed for those who would typically be averse to a standard yoga class. Create balance in the body and leave with informed movement principles that can guide the actions you take in your daily life. This is a slow process and progress will happen over time, it’s not going to be a quick fix but it will be a permanent one. Specifically targeting back pain/disk compression, knee pain, foot pain (plantar fasciitis), hand/wrist pain (carpal tunnel) and neck pain. “Your work should build you, not break you.”
