Students will explore how imbalance begins, how it develops over time, and how chronic conditions can take shape when subtle signs are missed or unsupported.
Special focus will be placed on learning how to recognize where a person may be in the progression of imbalance, so support can be offered with greater care and discernment.

February 25-27: Fascia, Hormones and Women’s Health with Laurie Nemetz, MA, BC-DMT, LCAT, ERYT 500, C-IAYT
This three-day immersion is designed to provide a deeper, informed understanding of fascia and its role in hormonal regulation, women’s health, and chronic disease, drawing on the latest research in this evolving field. As part of the larger Chronic Disease and Ease yoga therapy training, this workshop explores fascia as an intelligent, responsive system that mediates movement, sensation, stress, and healing. Through experiential practice, therapeutic sequencing, active loading, breathwork, and restorative approaches, participants will study how fascial tissues are influenced by hormonal changes, inflammation, trauma, and long-term health conditions, as well as what we do in our yoga practice to create space and ease. Emphasis is placed on women’s health across life stages, including cyclical health, perimenopause and menopause, fatigue syndromes, pain patterns, and recovery.
