Free Download! Healing Chronic Pain: The Asana, Breath, and Core Nexus
Do you suffer from neck or shoulder tension?
If so, you’re not alone. Chronic neck and shoulder pain affect millions of people, notes yoga therapist Robin Rothenberg, founder of Essential Yoga Therapy in this free download. And it’s not just an issue of chronic pain. It can also affect us systemically in terms of lower energy and reduced well-being.
The Zone of Apposition
The discovery of the Zone of Apposition or the ZOA has completely shifted my way of cuing for posture. Organizing the body around optimal, functional breathing makes so much more sense and integrates the core abdominal and mid-back muscles to work synergistically together. It’s a revelation!
The Essential Low Back Training Program
The ELBP is based on the landmark NIH study that shifted the tide! Robin’s experience in training teachers and therapists is renowned. Every yoga teacher, regardless of lineage can benefit from this program.
On Retreat
I’m nesting. Cloistered in my hill-top villa over looking the Gulf of Nicoya, I rotate between my writing desk, my easel, my books and the pool. I wake with the sun, breathe, walk, swim and do asana. Then, breakfast with my husband and back to my solitary work: writing and researching my book on the breath. Painting provides space for my mind to reset so I can re-enter the world of words fresh.
