TLDR: Need to Know Info

These workshops differ from other online classes because of my real-time feedback. To allow this, class size is limited to 6 students/session. Additionally, you will be provided with a free, printable PDF with our exercises/poses for you to reference and take notes specific to you.


To participate, you will need a stable internet connection, a stable folding/dining chair, wall space, a towel or yoga blocks, and amble space for me to see your full exercise (about 2 meters between you and your phone/laptop.)

Because of limited class size, the RSVP process is as follows:


1. Please confirm your attendance by purchasing your workshop sessions below.

2. Fill out the registration form to the right

3. I will follow up via email confirming receipt of payment and registration for your intended session(s) with the Zoom password.


As always, if there are specific questions, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting on the (virtual) mat!


Registration Form

Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action. -BKS Iyengar

The Back Story

How much do we know about how we hurt? Why? This workshop is where we give intelligence to action. We ask. We explore. We rebuild. There is no magic cure in addressing what hurts, but we are dedicating these few pressure hours to listening in to what our bodies and minds are trying to tell us. 

This workshop is near and dear to my heart. It was yoga that broke me and yoga that put me back together after a decade of chronic, debilitating pain.. Our lives close us off- physically, mentally, emotionally. These sessions aren't magic- but I guarantee they are the beginning of a transformation. There will be a lot of practical tips for breaking the cycle of chronic pain and suffering. Whether it's your first step on your mat or it's like a second home, please join me to start inviting in and cultivating a little "good space (sukham)."

About Teacher Mindy Sisco |

I suffered from chronic low back pain for more than 10 years and had the fortune of working with a teacher that gave such simple insight that helped me break through the pain.  Because of this training, I have been pain free for the past 5 years and continue to get stronger and more pliable with age rather than the other way around!

**(This workshop is highly recommended for those managing low back pain, hip pain. Please notify Mindy of physical conditions/limitations.)**

This workshop is for everyone. Back pain is an all too common chronic ailment. From sports to driving to sitting at work- our modern lifestyles are not kind to our spines. Whether you are a runner than needs a new path to balance your body or have been limited by the pain from enjoying activities- there is useful, accessible information for all. Yes, you can! 

This is my favorite workshop to teach because it is so accessible and you get immediate benefit. It will be done live with real-time verbal adjustments and putting to use objects you have around the house as props.

 

Student Reviews

I feel very lucky to have found such a talented teacher, with such understanding of how the body works and sensitivity to injury. The work with you has been transformational for me. - Daun

(Mindy) is versatile in her teaching skills, wonderful at adjustments and has developed her own style and adaptations that make her stand out among teachers. - Joanne, Tribal Yoga Tulum

I was given my best adjustment in her class and her unique and creative way to help students align correctly ensure students can find correct alignment in self practice. - Amy

This was by far the best intensive I've ever attended. 10 hours of intense physical practice over the course of two days! How do we know Mindy is amazing? I'm not sore! I have no back pain after three hours of backbending. She teaches with so much integrity for the body. Thank you Mindy. - Sara, The Studio Cleveland

I’ve experienced much pain relief in my jaw, wrists, and low back.

My whole body is recovering. Now I can enjoy spending more time with my kids in my daily life that I couldn’t before because I would get tired easily. - Seonghee
