The Spine + Core Workshop is part of a three-part workshop series taught by Jessica Seid through the lens of yoga and functional movement.
About the Spine + Core Workshop
Ever think about your spine and wonder what it actually does? How should your spine move within different yoga asanas — and what role does your core play in supporting it?
In this workshop, we’ll explore the different movements of the spine, how the spine and core work together, and the basic anatomy behind them. We’ll look at different families of yoga poses and explore how the spine moves and functions within them.
If you experience upper or lower back pain, or feel limited in certain asanas, you’ll also learn a modifications and approaches that can help you build a more sustainable and long-lasting practice.

Vinyasa Yoga Practice
Pose family breakdowns
Modifications and functional movement principles

About Jessica Seid
Jessica is an E-RYT 500 (via Yoga Alliance) teacher implementing functional movement into her classes with nearly a decade of teaching experience in San Francisco and Berlin. Her teaching is informed by her own experiences with previous spinal osteoarthritis, injury, and limited mobility, while aiming to incorporate principles of alignment, balance in load and sensation, sustainability, accessibility, exploration, and self-inquiry. She continues to study with her teacher, Jason Crandell, and has also been trained by the creator of restorative yoga, Judith Hanson Lasater, DPT. Her vinyasa classes integrate progressive movement with plenty of choices to do what’s best for your own body. Restorative classes by her (affectionately called “supervised napping”) focuses on breath and nervous system regulation towards a relaxed state.
