Description

Christa Rypins and her students lead you through simple, fun movements that gently relax the hips, lower back, shoulders, upper back and neck. Yummy Yoga consists of two 20-minute segments–one for the lower body and the other for the upper body. Christa’s innovative approach to easing tightness and pain combines yoga and somatics (a system of neuromuscular re-education) to help relieve lower back pain, tight shoulders, stiff neck, sciatic pain and many other discomforts. Complete and easy-to-follow for beginners, Yummy Yoga is a valuable addition to the routines of experienced yoga students and athletes alike. With Yummy Yoga, you too can experience the joy of free and painless movement.

Everyone can benefit from Rypins’ unique workout. The seemingly simple movements provide relief to choronically tight and sore muscles. — American Fitness, May/June 2001

Rypins is an excellent instructor. Somatic exercise serves as an excellent adjunct to a yoga practice. — Yoga Journal, June 2001
