Last weekend, I had an inspiring and nourishing time co-facilitating a weekend retreat on back pain with Neil & Lisa Pearson in Garden Bay on the Sunshine Coast.

Nine of our students joined us from the Coast, the Island, and the Lower Mainland as we moved from basic to refined understandings of how pain affects every aspect of our bio-psycho-social-spiritual being, and how Yoga Therapy, Pain Science and Yoga Philosophy can change our experience of pain and the pain itself.

Thank you to everyone who participated 🙏 We will collaborate again in the years to come!

Yoga in Pender Harbour Collective has been born! We spoke to many locals about Hatha Yoga, Chair Yoga, Aerial Yoga and Yoga Therapy at our first Health & Wellness Expos. I also registered new students for classes and my upcoming back pain retreat 😃🌟🥰☀️🙏

What the Body Holds

…First, calm what is inflamed. Don’t rush the excavation.

“When you’re ready, you go to the source,” she says. “Until then, you build steadiness. You work with what is showing up. One day, you’ll be ready. That’s the body’s wisdom.”

The body braces to protect.

Through practice, it can learn that it no longer has to….

Thank you Meghan Styles for writing about the life experiences behind the Yoga Therapy workshop I will soon be teaching on Post Traumatic Growth.

https://maggiereagh.com/yoga-therapy-philosophy-and-practices-for-post-traumatic-growth/

Are you interested in learning how Post-Traumatic Growth is supported by Yoga Therapy Philosophy and Practices?

In this in-person workshop on the Sunshine Coast on May 2nd, we will look at what the Yoga Sutra-s say about identifying the symptoms of trauma/duḥkha (Ch I,31) and pathways towards post-traumatic growth and transformation (Ch I 32-39 and Ch II, 16 & 46-48).

Through discussion and practice, we’ll explore how Yoga Therapy practices can promote a regulated and flexible Autonomic Nervous System (ananta), gently inviting the release of past suffering (duḥkha) held in the body-mind continuum through transformative growth.
