Programs > UBC Workshops > The Benefits & Dangers of Yoga:
Dr. Carla Cupido and Jesse Enright have joined forces to educate individuals utilizing both current biomechanical research and traditional yogic knowledge. In this workshop, you will learn the anatomy and biomechanics of the low back and core through experiential, hands-on activities with Dr. Cupido. This knowledge will then be applied to a yoga class instructed by Jesse Enright. The class will be interactive in nature and will center on how to both protect and rehabilitate your low back and core. Upon completion of this workshop, you will understand how to attend yoga classes safely and with greater insight as to how this ancient practice can positively transform your body. Please come prepared with your own yoga mat and yoga clothes.
