The mind is a malleable organ that is balanced on the tip of the spine, and mental creativity is directly linked to the spinal column. Therefore, the spine is one of the most vital parts of the human body and when it develops complications, multiple problems can occur. This is especially the case for people who spend many hours at their desks and are susceptible to developing bad posture and becoming stressed and fatigued, which over time can lead to chronic back pain. Revitalise Your Health is a 4 h workshop designed for those who want to taste the art of yoga for improving spine flexibility and mind malleability. You will also experience cooked comforting Ayurvedic meals from the Vedic Kitchen, adjacent to the shala.

This workshop is well suited for those who want to enhance the fluidity and adaptive quality of the mind and the flexibility of the spine column, as well as for people who are creatively seeking additional inspiration. It is also ideal for those who just want to practice more back bending safely and without hurting themselves. The immersion is designed for both yoga beginners and people with back pain.

Yoga is emerging as a promising mode of holistic treatment for back pain and for enhancing spine health to prevent future problems. This specialized practice is focused on lengthening and opening the spine backward, forwards and sideways. You will be introduced to the art of safe and deep back-bending postures for the opening of your pelvis, hip flexors, upper back, and shoulders. Specific Yogic breathing techniques are taught to enhance awareness of breath and develop concentration for an energized and balanced body.
