Duration: 3 hours

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Poor posture is an umbrella term that describes many incorrect postures habitually developed due to our lifestyle. Poor postures often precipitate muscular tone imbalances, painful trigger points in the body, and uneven transfer of workload down the spine predisposing to an increased risk of injury. Prolonged compromised spinal health also affects the proper functioning of the nervous system such as the spinal cord and nerve roots. Many unexplained symptoms such as declining work performance, feeling lack of rest despite sleeping for long hours, irregular bowel movements and disturbed moods are very subtle yet diagnostic symptoms of poor spinal health. It is vital therefore for each of us to take care of the spinal health.

In this 3-hour Wellness Yoga for Poor Posture workshop, we make it our business to highlight some of the common poor postures developed in the society and impart the right yogic techniques to tackle them. To date, some of the poor postures identified are:

  1. Forward head-neck posture (neck protruding out) – Often developed due to continuous usage of laptop and handphone.
  2. Kyphosis (hunchback) – Often developed in school going children due to excessive weight load on the back.
  3. Lumber Hyperlordosis (exaggerated lower back curve) – Often seen in athletes and post delivery.
  4. Swayback (ears behind the shoulders) – A mixture of all three poor postures mentioned above and the commonest of all.

TESTIMONIALS

During the Manipuraka session initiated by Master Mani, I felt my body is lifting up, arms going to fly, a lot of energy inside the navel and spine, like a volcano inside. I naturally want to bend backward into Chakrasana (wheel pose) and move with the energy within the 4 to 5 days right after the Manipuraka, I’ve got nice sensations at the Trikuti (center of the eyebrows) and so much living in the present that time. It’s just beyond what I could comprehend.

Marina Borodina

I’m surprised that my body flow into asanas (postures), mudras (hand gestures) and hands drawing yantras spontaneously and naturally…the movement of energy is just amazing.

Navanesan

It’s really amazing and my energy flows nicely leading to various gestures and body movements that never happen in my life before. I feel fresh and all my strained muscles are healed after doing Manipuraka, my energy level has increased and had a much better sense of awareness and alertness where I am now able to notice things that I have never noticed before. Manipuraka, it works!

Priya Tee

What really impresses me is the energy I experience can heal myself and others.

Kelly Gee

My mother felt relieved when I performed Universal Yoga Healing for her leg pain. I feel more in tune with myself, more positive and my intuition has sharpened as I observe my daily activities…

Peggy Chan

YP, our 2 months old puppy, was very sick and hadn’t eaten for 2 days. Not knowing what else to do, as the vet clinic was closed, I tried Universal Yoga Healing on the weak, motionless pup. To our great surprise, the pup got up and walked over to his bowl to feed! The funny part was Tanesh, my son exclaimed, ‘Look…Amah made some magic on YP!’ now YP is growing healthily.

Meera Nathan

It was amazing for me to experience immediate relief from neck pain during the Manipuraka workshop practical and I am now fully cured of cervical spondylosis!

Nisha Chang

Manipuraka deepened my understanding of universal energy (chi or prana). I experienced self healing and can feel the flow of universal energy through me when healing other. It’s very positive.

Sharon Loo

I found myself moving gracefully from simple warm-ups to Tai Chi steps, follwed by a series of classic hand gestures, of which I had no previous experience. The movements were spontaneous and the rhythm varied and sometimes paused. I was awashed by feelings of peace and being loved.

Pavani Tuladhar

After practising Manipuraka & UniYoga Healing, I am relieved of my chronic backache.
