Michelle Fleming.

Date : 2008-09-05
Duration : 3pm - 5pm
Description : Getting Better With Age or Finding Your Inner Strength with Michelle Fleming "Core strength" is a term that is often thrown around these days and seldom fully understood. In this workshop we will deeply work the muscles of the torso in a synergistic way to take weight off of the joints in the lower back, hips and legs while creating ease in the shoulders and upper back. We will examine closely the anatomy of the bandhas (yogic locks) and applicable chakras as we work to change existing patterns which cause tension and pain and replace them with new patterns that create inner strength and a tension free body. Michelle Fleming found yoga and it saved her life. She stumbled into an astanga class one afternoon and found it was the first thing that made her intense anxiety and depression dissipate. After tearing a ligament in her knee during class, she began to delve deeply in the anatomy behind the poses in an effort to find a safe and effective practice that retained the exhilarating flow she loved so much. These days she trains teachers and students to find a fluid pattern of movement that protects the joints while stretching the muscles and connective tissue and quieting the mind. She is the owner of The Sanctuary of Plymouth and founder of Equilibrium, a non-profit dedicated to bringing breathe, movement and nutrition education to young people with anxiety and mood disorders.

Timothy McCall MD.

Date : 2008-09-05
Duration : 5pm - 7pm
Description : The Science of Yoga and Yoga Therapy with Timothy McCall, MD. From raising serotonin to lowering levels of stress hormones, yoga has been documented to have hundreds of discrete effects on the body and mind. Clinical research has found yoga can benefit people with dozens of different medical conditions from anxiety and attention deficit disorder to cancer and heart disease. We'll review the scientific evidence to understand the mechanisms by which yoga and yoga therapy work. In light of the growing ominance of evidence-based medicine, we will also discuss how the deck is stacked against natural remedies like yoga in favor of drug therapy in particular, and how this adversely affects our health care system. We will try out various yogic practices including asana, pranayama, chanting and meditation to illustrate various principles during this workshop. No scientific background is necessary to attend, but if you have got one you are welcome too!
