Physiyoga teaches you to how move easily and pain free in your unique body! It is not a one-size-fits-all practice but an integrative practice combining the science of physical therapy with the body-mind practices of yoga. Each week we will take a deep dive into a different theme or area of the body, starting on the mat and progressing to asana. We will explore the nervous system, breath, joints and muscles, and apply the methods of physical therapy in our yoga practice to create efficient, easeful movement in our daily lives. Instructor will provide props such therapy bands, blocks, and tennis balls to increase awareness and sensation. Participants must be comfortable getting up and down from the floor. PLEASE BRING WATER , A YOGA MAT AND BLANKET. Instructor Deborah Cook has been a practicing physical therapist for twenty-five years and a yoga instructor for eight.
