Herbs & Oils for Musculoskeletal Pain, A workshop at Samamkaya Yoga, Dec. 3rd

Herbs & Oils for Musculoskeletal Pain at Samamkaya Yoga, NYC December 3rd 2015 View this email in your browser "Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing.  Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, however unlikely it may seem."  BKS Iyengar, Light on Life   Aches and pains.  We all have them.  Some of us have them in our head, some of us have them in our spine, some of us have them in our pinky toes. As an herbalist and yoga teacher I look at pain as a signal, a way for the body to communicate that something is out of harmony.  In this light pain can be seen as illuminating; it teaches us about ourselves and points us in the direction toward healing and growth.   There is no magic pill for pain, herbal or otherwise, but there are many plants that we can work with to manage pain and realign the parts of us that are out of balance. On Thursday, December 3rd I will be teaching a workshop on herbs for pain in the musculoskeletal system at Samamkaya Yoga. This workshop is part of Samamkaya Yoga's Holistic Healing Series and I am honored to be presenting this subject at this unique yoga and backcare center in Manhattan.   Details are below.
