Joint Mobility Class
Friday January 20, 2012, 6-7 PM, once a month

Rachel Jenkins teaches this class which is meant to re-create the natural way our body is meant to move and function. You will find that many aches and pains disappear and some even think that joint mobilizing exercises can reverse aging which has been incurred from overdoing activities or have been induced by trauma and injuries, or even just everyday living.

So what is Joint Mobility? In a nutshell it is a type of practice which actively moves your joints and brings in endogenous energy (outside energy) to the joints, which brings with it lubrication and therefore helps the joints heal and regenerate. Not only this but it restores posture and improves your movements as control over the nervous system is re-enforced.

A Maine native, Rachel Jenkins has been practicing yoga since 2005. She fell in love with Ashtanga after her first practice and became a devoted student. Her teaching has been influenced by the desire to teach people how to open their minds and hearts and recreate the natural movements of the human body. Although she loves both a strenuous physical practice and time to sit and "be", most importantly her classes are accessible to yogis of all potential shapes, ages, and interests.
