If you suffer from headaches, back or neck pain, fibromyalgia, exhaustion, or other physical/emotional conditions or symptoms and want to learn simple, evidence-based strategies for pain reduction or elimination, this is the workshop for you! Did you know that you have the ability to influence, change, reduce, and sometimes eliminate persistent or chronic pain by learning simple tools that are easily incorporated into your busy life in just minutes a day?  In this accessible experiential workshop, you will learn how to understand the signals your body is sending (hint-they often don’t mean what you think!) and how the brain and nervous system are involved in our experience of physical and emotional pain. Tools will include mindfulness practices, gentle movement, body/breath awareness, and guided relaxation.  No prior yoga or movement experience is required to attend and both chair and mat options will be provided for the techniques and tools you will learn.
