Susan Johnson of InsideOut Yoga will co-lead a Forward Bends workshop with retired physical therapist, Ginger Houck, from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Sunday, April 10 at the Northern Neck Family YMCA in Kilmarnock. The cost of the workshop is $40 and partial proceeds benefit the YMCA’s Guardian Program.

“Whether you’re bending forward in a yoga class, at work, in your garden, or at home picking up your kids, unless you’re using proper alignment, you can really aggravate your lower back,” said Johnson. “In this all-levels workshop, Ginger and I will teach you proper technique to optimize your alignment and minimize your risk of injury in yoga class and beyond.”

“Ginger has over 28 years of experience as a physical therapist and brings her knowledge of anatomy and therapeutics to these workshops, said Johnson. “I bring the alignment and cuing expertise I’ve developed through 10+ years of leading yoga classes, workshops and retreats for hundreds of students.”

Space is limited and advance registration is required, said Johnson. Registered yoga teachers will receive one Yoga Alliance approved contact hour for Techniques, Training and Practice as well as one for Anatomy and Physiology To register, visit insideoutyoga.org, email Johnson at insideoutyoga@va.metrocast.net, or call 804-436-2204.
