“Oh Kaya, If you had thought 'what components of a workshop would be most perfect for Linda?' I can assure you that you hit the nail on the head!!! Prior, I had been experiencing a lot of general and free floating distress (inability to sleep, relax, or even feel OK) and found comfort in the direction and information you provided. At one point, I felt like falling to the ground and sobbing; your words were such a relief as were the poses. And, my husband got a big laugh when I told him what you said about what husbands experience having hypermobile spouses So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” - L.O., longtime Yoga student, Sacramento CA {following the Too Stretchy Type workshop}

Too-Stretchy-Type
Recovery from Hypermobility Workshop, with Kaya
Sunday December 4th, 9:30am-12:30pm {5 SPOTS LEFT!}
At Emeryville Yoga Therapy Center
Hypermobility is Kaya's area of expertise. Having recovered her own body from severe hyperflexibility and her mind and life from the coinciding mental and emotional patterns, she has specialized in working with dancers, yogis and athletes who suffer with this unique issue. This workshop is a rare opportunity to get into the "nitty gritty" of some of the personality components of this body-type that are holding you back in your life from true connection, inner peace and ease.
You may seem to move easily and far into stretches or yoga poses {or were very flexible in your youth but have become limited, brittle and susceptible to injury as you age}, and are living in pain or with a very busy mind. The hyper-mobile body-type (which has intriguing mental-emotional patterns to match!) is the one many experienced yoga students have. Others say "wow lucky you are so flexible", while you are questioning whether something is wrong because of the pain in the joints, back, or neck. Furthermore, while folks with hyper-mobile joints can appear to achieve physical poses with ease, they are often obstructed in experiencing the quiet mind that yoga is designed to cultivate.
The workshop includes direct experience of the practices in an extended deep release yoga class + a lecture and discussion of the physical and psychological components of hypermobility.
