If you clench or grind, this workshop is for you!Join us and explore how to relieve jaw tension with yoga and mindfulness!
Jaw Tension can be a factor in many conditions including headaches, sinusitis, sciatica as well as digestive and hormonal disorders. Learn why this is so and how to bring relief.
Day 1: Understanding Jaw Tension – Learn about cause & effect within your body & your life. Session includes yoga, core actions, guided meditations, and lecture on causes of jaw tension and its repercussions.
Did you know your jaw is connected to your shoulders, your hips, and even your feet? But most significant connection is between your brain and your jaw. From an evolutionary view, the oral cavity and Temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-man-DIB-u-lur) Joint (TMJ) are essential to your survival as well as your ability to thrive. Nearly half of the sensory and motor aspects of your brain are devoted to the dental area. This means your brain is hardwired to keep close tabs on your mouth. Whatever is or is not happening in your mouth is continually impacting the rest of your body through brain functioning.
Workshop sessions include lecture/discussion of the causes and repercussions of jaw tension that can manifest throughout your body. This understanding lays a foundation for our mindful awareness and yoga practice. Through experiential anatomy, applying core actions, yoga poses, facial self-massage, and guided meditations you will gain a well-rounded tool bag for working with jaw tension and pain.
