ELISE BROWNING MILLER
FRIDAY EVENING WORKSHOP
STANDING POSES AND TWISTS FOR CONTINUING STUDENTS WITH SCOLIOSIS

The standing poses and twists are the backbone of daily scoliosis yoga practice.  They create strength in the limbs to support the spine, and bring awareness to the differences in the two sides of the trunk. Yet how can we address the rotational component as well as creating length and strength without compensating in the poses?  Elise will expound on these fundamentals and more in her only workshop for experienced students in NYC this Fall.

Elise’s joyous personality and ease of communication endear her to students with a teaching style that is down-to-earth, precise, and nurturing.   If you have not yet attended one of her workshops, this is a wonderful opportunity to get to know Elise, with whom Deborah, Alison and Mimi completed their Yoga for Scoliosis Certification.

SUITABLE FOR STUDENTS WITH
1 YEAR OF YOGA EXPERIENCE

Private lessons will also be available on Thursday and Friday.

Bobbie Fultz

The Three Gunas,
Illumination, Activity & Inertia, and Yoga Practice for Scoliosis




Bobbie Fultz first saw yoga taught on television by Richard Hittleman in the sixties.  After wandering through several styles of yoga she met B.K.S. Iyengar at a Q&A in 1987, where he said she should come to Pune and work with him for her scoliosis.  Bobbie has made that trip 7 times.  She has been teaching since 1991, is certified Junior Intermediate II, and leads workshops nationally and internationally.  She was one of the founding teachers of the Iyengar Yoga Institute of NY, was their first administrator, and served 7 years on the board of directors of Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater NY.  She was the resident yoga teacher for 8 years at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, a traditional Vedanta ashram in Saylorsburg, PA, and studied at both of Pujya Swami Dayanada Saraswati’s Indian ashrams in Anaikatti and Rishikesh.  Currently she lives in Colorado and is a faculty member of the Iyengar Yoga Center of Denver. Before yoga became her primary life directive, Bobbie was a visual artist in printmaking, theatre design, painting, and performance.  Her artist’s eye is a great asset in the yoga studio. She is one of the primary influences in Alison and Deborah's work with scoliosis at Yoga Union Center.

It has been said that most students embarking on a yoga practice do so due to back pain or other back problems. Yet although yoga addresses many aspects of the body and mind, not all styles address musculoskeletal issues in a way that's helpful for those suffering from acute or chronic back pain or those with misalignments

In this two-day workshop, Deborah Wolk, Co-Director of Yoga Union Center for Backcare and Scoliosis in New York City, will teach a direct approach to relief from all types of chronic back pain and alignment issues such as disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, swayback, whiplash and kyphosis. Yoga, practiced with a specific focus can be the key to alleviating pain and creating more balance in the body.

Saturday:
• The anatomy of the spine: understanding how it supports us and where its
   weaknesses are
• Anatomy of disk diseases, sciatica, osteoporosis and other ailments & injuries
• Understanding chronic and acute pain: separating strong sensation from pain
• Modified Yoga poses and solutions to address acute pain
• Classical and modified Yoga poses to decrease or relieve chronic pain

Sunday:
• Defining asymmetries such as scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and more localized
   asymmetries such as spondylolysthesis, and flattened cervical spine (whiplash)
• Through lecture, demonstration and yoga practice, understanding how we are all
   affected by even minor asymmetry in the body and learning to see and feel
   these asymmetries
• How injuries and asymmetries affect the proprioceptive and nervous systems
• Yogasana to align the spine and limbs to decrease pain, balance the use muscles
   and bones, and as a preventative against future injuries and pain

Deborah will be available for private sessions on Friday, Oct. 22
$125 for a one-hour lesson. $150 for one and a half hours.
($110 or $130 if you are registered for both days of the workshop.)
