$25.00 Help for Hyperextension with Lucy Lomax
Help For Hyperextension is geared towards advanced beginner and levels above.
If you’ve been taking yoga classes for at least a few months, you’ve likely heard your teacher point out when someone is hyper-extending a joint (moving a joint past it’s maximum healthy range of motion).
Most often, it involves the knee, but can also involve the elbow, fingers, toes, or even the spinal joints of the neck and low back.
But what exactly does it mean to hyper-extend a joint?
And why might hyper-extending be a concern?
Through discussion and yoga poses, this workshop will answer all your questions about hyper-extending a joint – from the mechanics of, and why it happens, to how to prevent it through healthy alignment practices.
Workshops are not eligible for discounts.
This workshop will be hybrid. Participate in person (for those who are vaccinated) or attend live-stream via Zoom.
