15hr BackMitra® teacher training Brisbane

savouring the channel of radiance

If you would seek health, look first to the spine. ~ Socrates

You are as young as your spine is flexible ~ Richard Hittleman

OVERVIEW

In modern society our back and neck are under constant pressure from prolonged sitting or staring (with bowed heads) at our mobile devices. As our posture slowly deteriorates we see an increase in premature wear and higher frequency of hernias of the lower back & neck. The BackMitra® is a powerful tool to support spinal health, improve posture and promote a profound relaxation response.

Join senior experienced yoga teacher and BackMitra® trainer, Alexandra Rodrigues, for this foundational training course aimed at anyone who works in the field of body-orientated healing. Suitable for yoga teachers, physiotherapists, osteopaths, physical education teachers, or enthusiastic students wishing to take responsibility for their own healing journey.

“Calm, intuitive and experienced instructor - one of the best in Brisbane.” ~ Lucy H

“Alexandra’s yoga for back care yoga class is nothing short of miraculous! At the completion of the class I honestly feel like my body has been transformed and I walk out of the class with a completely new body. The deep release of the muscles and realigning of the spine makes me feel taller and freer. The stiffness and pain are always dramatically reduced and in some cases completely gone.” ~ Karen H
