Yoga for Gardeners Workshop Series

May 5, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

with Jenny Feick

Every spring, people enthusiastically venture into their garden and yard, only to return hours later sore and exhausted. Yoga can help you avoid some common gardening injuries and reduce current aches and pains. Through attention to posture and alignment principles, this workshop will help you protect your hips, shoulders, wrists, back and knees. You will learn what you should do to get your body ready for gardening and how to stretch and move after working in your yard so that you feel rejuvenated.

Jenny shares her passion for Yoga, Nature, and gardening on and off her mat.  Raised by a family that ran a landscaping business and created rock gardens, she continues to garden at her home in Esquimalt, B.C.  Jenny began her yoga practice as a teenager and practiced diverse hatha yogatraditions.  She completed her initial yoga teacher training with Blissologist Eoin Finn, and in 2014 became the only yoga teacher on Vancouver Island to become certified in the therapeutic YogAlign Method. With her background in environmental science, Jenny weaves ecological knowledge with her understanding of Yoga, to create unique, fun, nature-inspired hatha flow yoga classes. She provides posture and alignment advice and suggests options for all yoga experience levels.  For more information, explore the Nature Wise Yoga webpage and the Nature Wise Yoga FaceBook Page.
