Whether you practice yoga or not, almost everyone has experienced lower back pain at some point in their lifetime. Many people start practicing yoga because it can be a great way to help heal and relieve this common problem.

In this two-hour class, you’ll experience how yoga can specifically be used in a healing way that you may not be able to experience in a regular class. Hart will focus on common lower back issues as a way to showcase how to approach yoga as a therapeutic approach. Some of the concepts that will be introduced are:

  1. Learn to observe and assess your own body and others bodies
  2. Explore the causes of pain from this point of view and how it most commonly manifests in therapeutic issues for yoga students
  3. Discover tools for relief and strengthening

This is a wonderful opportunity for teachers who are interested in yoga therapy and would like to experience and observe how a therapy class is taught. Students can also benefit from this class with ideas how to work with their lower back issues.

With a multi-disclinary background, including yoga, counselling, Buddhism and trauma healing, Hart has has developed a multi-dimensional approach to working with human difficulties. Students often come away with much more than they expected.

Hart Lazer is co-owner of United Yoga Montreal and internationally recognized as a teacher of yoga teachers. Systematic, profound, thorough, sensitive and challenging, he is a master at teaching the mechanics of asana, having studied closely with Iyengar teacher Ramanand Patel for many years and undertaken a serious study of Ashtanga yoga. Hart Lazer offers his students the experience gained from his unique life story, from boyhood in a Jewish rabbinical school through a career in counseling and over 25 years as a yoga teacher and practitioner. In recent years Hart has explored the effects of Buddhism, yoga and trauma on the body and has developed a multi-dimensional approach to working with human difficulties.

Currently in the world of yoga there appears to be very little refined teaching regarding the pelvic region. At the same time many students are implementing mula bandha as part of their practice. There are indications that the way this is being practiced is causing more harm than good, with varying unhealthy effects. This two-part series is a wonderful opportunity to truly get to know this often misunderstood region of the body and have a real understand of how to practice the elusive mula bandha.

Part II: 8/20 – 21 (9 hours)

In this second part of the series, you’ll deepen the work started in the first workshop. After you have some time to explore and develop more awareness of the pelvic floor since Part I, then you’ll be able to integrate the notions previously taught and learn to effectively implement them in our practice in Part II.

You will learn

  • How to integrate the mula bandha in your practice
  • How to work with the pelvic floor in various poses, including inversions and backbends.
  • How working with the pelvic floor in a proper way can keep our pelvic organs healthy and avoid problems such as organ prolapse.
