Become an owner of your health using the traditional wisdom of therapeutic yoga

Living with pain isn’t merely physical.

A life with pain is stressful, fearful and can be depressing. It affects your emotions, your relationships, your career and leaves you exhausted. You cannot move with ease the way you once enjoyed and it can alter your ability to perform daily activities.

 SOMETIMES THE PAIN IS LINKED TO A SPECIFIC IMBALANCE SUCH AS:

~ Chronic back pain ~

~ Migraines ~

~ Digestive upsets ~

~ Post-trauma pain ~

~ Cancer-related pain ~

~ Autoimmune disease ~

~ Arthritis ~

Yet, often, pain is ever-present and unexplained. This can lead to feelings of hopelessness and disassociation with ourself and our loved ones.

You are not alone. There are an estimated 50 million Americans regularly experiencing chronic pain--that’s more than 1 in every 7 people.

INTRODUCING:

Yoga Therapy for Chronic Pain:

Becoming Resilient through Ancient Wisdom

I, like you, have lived most of my life in pain.

I have suffered from chronic back pain due to scoliosis since the time of adolescence. The nature of my curved spine makes my upper back and neck feel like I have steel rods instead of muscles. But I have learned to successfully manage my pain and the emotional suffering that comes with it.

I have been practicing yoga for 25 years and teaching for a decade.  To be quite honest, when I began my personal journey of yoga I found it to be a little boring! I kept at it because I had heard about its many benefits and that it might be good for scoliosis. Throughout the years I learned from some incredible teachers that were generous in sharing their insights and wisdom with me. 

Over time, I began to experience the healing potential of yoga. Teaching allowed me to dive deeper into the roots and wisdom of this practice and experiment with how certain poses felt in my body. This was the beginning of my dedication to using yoga as a way to heal my own pain and to help others. 

My style of teaching is nurturing; specializing in assissting individuals living with chronic pain to live a fulfilling life.

The journey begins with trusting yourself and coming home to body and mind as your sanctuary.

The primary focus of my program is on self-care techniques that emphasize self-compassion and self-healing.

No matter how far from yourself you’ve strayed, or how long you have neglected your own self-care, this is a practice that will empower you to take your healing into your own hands and not rely on temporary fixes like massage and chiropractics. 

No matter how raw or vulnerable the idea of truly taking care of yourself may feel, this practice will allow the layers of neglect to dissolve by addressing every level of your self and life. 

Now is the time to begin to treat your body like a temple; you have the capacity to release limiting beliefs about pain and change the persistent patterns of pain, stress, fatigue and overwhelm.

This course gives you an opportunity to reconnect to yourself through self-love and self-compassion.

We can work together to make this happen.

This program is not about making the pain go away, it is about changing our relationship to pain in order to live a life with more mobility, more joy, more hope and more purpose.

Thanks Jackie!” - Julie R.

FAQ:

• I’m new to yoga. Will this course be too advanced for me? Not at all! The course will offer advanced practices of yoga, such as breathwork and meditation. So it will be new and different. However, none of the postures are advanced. We’ll take the pace slow and explore together. 
• I am in a wheelchair and/or not very mobile. Are ALIGN Wellness Workshops appropriate for me? Absolutely! Everything we do can be done in a chair or on a bed or couch. I will teach postures on the floor, but will give modifications for everyone. 
• How much time will this program take me? How much do I have to put in on a weekly basis? Wellness Workshops run in 6- week sessions that range from 1.5-2 hours each. This includes Q&A with Jackie regarding each practice session. Between each session you will be asked to do a “Journey to Healing” homework assignment, which will consist of a short daily practice and journaling that will take about 15-30 minutes of your time. 
• I’ve been doing yoga for years. Will this program be too basic for me? Maybe, but it's not about advancing your practice of yoga postures. It’s about navigating your way through pain and exploring deeper layers of your being.
