InFlow
Yoga with Pippa Cherniavsky
“The mindful practice of yoga opens and releases the physical
body by opening the joints and lengthening the muscles. Bringing
openness and harmony to the physical body brings openness and harmony
to our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies which, in turn, brings
openness and harmony to the outer manifestations of our lives.” Pippa
Cherniavsky, Yoga Instructor.

McKenzie
Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy of
the low back,
mid back and neck.
For more
than 40 years Robin McKenzie, Registered Physiotherapist
of New Zealand, has been refining and perfecting the
procedures which have made the McKenzie self treatment
system of the spine unique.
“If you adopt certain positions or perform certain movements
that cause your back to 'go out', then if we understand the problem
fully we can identify other movements and other positions that,
if practised and adopted, can reverse that process. You put it out
you put it back in. Once taught, the educated patient can accept
responsibility for his own disorder and hopefully can reduce his
dependency on therapists and therapy”.
Robin McKenzie. Registered Physiotherapist,
New Zealand.
