Do you experience pain, stiffness and loss of motion throughout your body? Do you want to be able to move with ease? Postural Alignment Technique (iPath) sessions involve a series of positions using resistance balls to release and lengthen tight muscles and free up connective tissue. Through regular practice, participants can *increase their flexibility and range of motion, *improve their posture, *optimize and decrease pain caused by tissue restrictions. Based on Yin Yoga poses that lubricate the bones, joints and connective tissues of the body, you can improve your posture and feel the pain melt away!

When we experience discomfort in our lives, it's normal to respond in ways that actually keep us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, small, depressed. Then we lose ourselves in stress and miss an important step in the process of healing.
