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.

Observing & Mapping Bodies
2024-11-10 13:00 - 16:00 | The Yoga Room Berkeley, CA, 2530 San Pablo Avenue, Suite D, Berkeley, CA, 94702, United States
Learn to observe and map tension patterns in the bodies of students and clients we are working with as well as in your own body.
Have you noticed that one shoulder seems to be tighter than the other? Or one hip?? Do you feel more balanced when standing on your right leg, or left? These imbalances are not an accident. They are result of your life experience, and in many cases were set from early childhood or even birth. Rather than trying to overcome these imbalances, we can embrace and learn from them, finding a skillful way to practice and live our lives with more ease.
In this workshop we will observe bodies, and learn to develop a body map encapsulating useful information – including tightness vs mobility (including hyber-mobility), pain vs ease, stability vs vulnerability (or instability).
No one has a perfectly balanced body. We can still find symmetry within.
