Amanita Studio

The stu­dio of­fers three spe­cial­ized yoga pro­grams fo­cused on spine health: Spine Yoga for be­gin­ners and ad­vanced prac­ti­tion­ers, Yoga for a Healthy Spine as pre­ven­tion and strength­en­ing of the paraspinal mus­cles, and Yoga Ther­a­py com­bin­ing asanas, self-mas­sage and breath­ing tech­niques. The class­es use train­ing props (straps, blocks, bol­sters) and el­e­ments of pi­lates and re­lax­ation to im­prove flex­i­bil­i­ty, re­duce back and neck pain, and work on core sta­bi­liza­tion. The stu­dio pays par­tic­u­lar at­ten­tion to safe work with the cer­vi­cal spine and to treat­ing prob­lems such as sci­at­i­ca through ap­pro­pri­ate­ly se­lect­ed asana se­quences and breath­ing tech­niques that calm the ner­vous sys­tem.
