Moving and Living with Chronic Pain and Physical Limitations: A FREE WORKSHOP
How to adapt and modify your way through yoga class and everyday living.
Join Ben for this FREE workshop as he empowers you to accept and work with your pain and limitations rather than resist against or push through it, by encouraging you to give yourself permission to modify, adapt, and rest as is needed, offering skills, courage, and knowledge to do so.
At the end of this workshop, you will have received the knowledge and permission necessary to maneuver through any class with the ability to adapt as needed for yourself, and feel as though you can do it and will continue doing it as you discover the benefits of self compassion with your pain and limitations that might allow you to resolve and heal your pain in a way you weren’t previously aware could be done.
This workshop will include discussion, movement, and meditation.

Sea Change Yoga is a nonprofit yoga service organization. We bring the evidence based practices of trauma- informed yoga and meditation to those who have experienced trauma, are under-served and marginalized, and in need of the emotional regulation and increased physical and mental health that trauma informed yoga and meditation practice provides.
We currently teach more than 100 classes per month to students at residential treatment facilities, community recovery centers and correctional institutions.
Our trauma-informed teaching strategies are designed to be uniquely effective for students with trauma in their background. We modify the elements of traditional yoga to facilitate mindfulness, maximize tolerance, build empowerment, and cultivate a more positive relationship to one’s body.
These simple, powerful tools of transformation reduce stress and anxiety, support the addiction recovery process, help break the cycle of substance abuse and incarceration. We teach a method of mindfulness practices that our students can use every single day in their lives.
