feeling of being burdened by the outer world. Aadil continues to heal his
own serious lower back injuries, and will teach you how to help clients
using traditional sequences and innovations for the muscular-skeletal relief
of lower back pain as well as pranayama (yogic breathing), and other
techniques to release the emotions that are at the root of low back
discomfort.

we relate to our selves and others. True yoga is the process of
self-exploration, self-discovery, and union with Self. In this workshop,
you will explore three essential relationships - your relationship with
yourself; your relationship with others; and your relationship with the
