Yoga center recommendations

[manewg]

I'm looking for somewhere in Fishtown/East Kensington that offers yoga classes. I have a medical condition that results in a lot of tightness/soreness in my chest and neck. My massage therapist suggested I try it out and see if it helps with my pain. She said it's good for stretching and "opening up my heart area." I want to give it a legitimate shot, but I need to find a place that's close by and reasonably priced. Suggestions?

Try Kensington Yoga &Reiki. Their schedule can be found at Kensington Yoga and Reiki - 2424 Coral Street, Philadelphia PA 19125

A style of practice that sounds really good for you is yin yoga. Yin is a passive style of practice that opens the connective tissue that surrounds the muscle, and works with large muscle groups in the body: hips, shoulders, back. At present (at least, from what I saw on their site) Kensington Yoga & Reiki does not offer yin yoga. Wake Up Yoga in Fairmount, just down Girard Avenue, does. You can find Wake Up Yoga's schedule here: Classes | Wake Up Yoga

Hope you establish a yoga practice that offers you exactly what you need to care for your body.
