New Passage to Yoga Series: Yoga for Stiff People

Passage to Yoga is offering a new class series: Yoga for Stiff People: Making Friends with our Bodies

The workshop will be presented by Mike Goldfield and begins on Sunday, April 11th.

In this series, Mike will lead participants in an exploration of various postures, sequences and modifications (including the use of a wide variety of props) to address common areas of limitation in ways that are safe and helpful, rather than aggressive and self-abusive. This approach will allow students to find benefits and joy in their practice no matter what their level of flexibility.

Open to Students of all Levels
Pricing: $20 per individual session, or $120 for all when you pre-register

Mike has a varied background in yoga, originally receiving teacher training in Ashtanga Yoga (with Richard Freeman) and Anusara Yoga (with John Friend). He has also trained extensively in Iyengar Yoga, from which he draws primarily for adjustments, alignment, and modifications of poses. Mike considers this the tradition in which he works. He has a style marked by playfulness, humility, attention to details of alignment, and compassion for the student.

Here is a description of the topics that will be covered:

April 11 – Laying the Foundation: Feet, Hamstrings and Hips
April 25 – Creating Space: Shoulders, Neck and Upper Back
May 2 – Going Deeper: Exploring Hip Movement
May 9 – Strength and Mobility: Knees and Quads
