$35.00 From Collapse to Lift: Reclaiming Your Posture Through the Shoulders
Discover a transformative approach to shoulder health in this focused workshop designed to create space, freedom, and ease in one of the most overused areas of the body—the shoulder girdle. Over time, repetitive movement patterns cause the clavicle and humerus to compress inward, limiting joint space and compromising the function of tendons, bursae, and surrounding soft tissue. The result? Stiffness, pain, and even long-term issues like frozen shoulder or the need for surgery.
Using the innovative Yamuna® Body Rolling method, you'll learn how to stimulate and decompress the bones of the shoulder—specifically the clavicle and humerus—using specialized balls. Working directly with bone not only relieves tension but also jumpstarts regeneration in the surrounding tissue, improving alignment, posture, and overall function.
This practice is a game changer: as the bones reset, your shoulders open, your neck releases, and your posture naturally improves—making slouching a thing of the past. Whether you're recovering from chronic tension, dealing with limited range of motion, or simply looking to feel stronger and stand taller, this workshop offers tools your body will thank you for.
Come realign, release, and rediscover effortless upright posture.
We wil be using black balls, and pearl balls. All provided.

Darina Brown
Darina's yoga journey began in 2005 after years as a fitness instructor, which brought her from teaching on a cruise ship, to instructing celebrities in the Maldive Islands, to teaching private clients throughout Europe. In addition to being certified in BASI Pilates, Darina completed extensive yoga teacher training with Bryan Kest, the founder of Power Yoga, and Paul Grilley, the founder of Yin Yoga. Her pursuit of meditation techniques brought her to Eckhart Tolle and Tara Brach, and the last few years Darina has studied with Yamuna and has become a Yamuna Body Practitioner, which she is also quite passionate about.
Darina says: "For me, the yoga mat is a safe space, a sanctuary to accept where I am each day. It's a place to be present without judgement, where I can move and breathe mindfully. With that spirit, I've developed classes that cultivate physical and mental strength, where we can breathe deeply and be honest and open to all the possibilities that life presents
The real yoga then begins the moment we step off the mat and face the inevitable challenges of life. And this is where yoga becomes a most powerful tool, helping us to move gracefully and with ease through anything that life brings our way."
