Self-Care: Let’s Get Out of Our Chairs with Jessica Hensley.
Thursday, June 4th at 1pm

We’ve all heard that sitting is the new smoking, but quitting sitting isn’t exactly a quick fix. During this session we’ll explore the biomechanical impact of spending too much time sitting and how that affects all of our activities throughout our day – and throughout our lifetime. Jessica will demonstrate ways to tune in to more optimal alignment and the benefits it brings in our energy levels, cardiovascular fitness, strength, adaptability, and even our mood. We’ll work through quick-hit yoga poses and flows you can do in 10-minutes or less during your workday to counteract too much time in the chair. A handout and online resources will be available for reference after the workshop.

As an athlete and two-time cancer thriver, Jessica knows first-hand the power that yoga and movement have to transform the way we feel in our bodies, our overall health, and our well-being. Her 20-year yoga journey has brought her to teaching a specialized practice focused on functional movement. The LYT methodology is rooted in the principles of physical therapy and neurodevelopment, essentially remapping the brain to create movement that is smarter, safer, more efficient and more empowering.
