Sunday - June 21Whole-Back Workshop with Matt

• Date and Time: June 21, 10-11am
• Leader: Matt Nadler, certified yoga teacher and dragon boater!
• Zoom Meeting: check your email
• Description: "As I mentioned at the end of the last workshop, I plan on involving the entire back this week - from the Cervical spine, to the Thoracic region and then to the Lumbar area.  It will include self-massaging as well as a variety of exercises to keep the spine limber as we grow older and in many cases, stiffer." - Matt
• Props needed:
  • Chair
  • Yoga block or thick book
  • 2 balls
    "My choice of balls are Yoga Tune Up balls.  But other balls can be used if you don't have the YTU balls.  Tennis balls, hard rubber balls, lacrosse balls, etc.  I've even experimented with a baseball and a golf ball." - Matt
