ELDOA WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES
Read on to learn more about ELDOA + Core Classes and Corporate/Private Workshops
WHAT IS ELDOA?
ELDOA is a series of postural exercises that you can do at home with the primary goal being to increase the space within a chosen articulation of joint. As the ELDOAS create more space between the spinal discs the spine can become more functional and healthier.
​
The postures can:
-
increase blood flow
-
reduce pressure on the discs
-
allow for spinal rehydration
-
create better muscle tone
-
improve posture.
​
ELDOA is a very safe method because the torso is kept in an elongated position during the postures with no twisting or torquing of the spine which can often aggravate existing spinal issues.
Origin of ELDOA Method
The ELDOA method was created by Guy Voyer, a French Osteopath. Guy began formulating his method decades ago in search of a "magic bullet" to cure back pain. After years of study and clinical observation he realized that giving patients guidance and tools to correct their own back pain was far more effective than treating the symptoms. One of the philosophies behind Osteopathy is that the body can heal itself and this is the base for the ELDOA exercises. Participants, under the guidance of a practitioner can learn the method and eventually guide themselves towards healing.

"Laurens' ELDOA session was fantastic! She explained back anatomy and ELDOA theory clearly, making the exercises easy to understand. Lauren's friendly approach and clear instructions made the session enjoyable for everyone. Everyone on our team left feeling relaxed. I highly recommend this experience to others!"

" Lauren is super knowledgeable about Eldoa, it's different techniques and how each exercise affects each part of your body. She made sure that her guests understood the benefits as well by showing us pictures of the human anatomy. I had no clue what Eldoa was before this experiences, but I can already see some benefits from doing it once. I had this constant tightness and pain in my neck region that wouldn't go away. I've tried stretching and massaging the area before with very little relief. After one session of Eldoa, I can already feel difference. The pain and tightness has reduced and hasn't come back, even the next day. I'm going to continue practicing the techniques I learned and I highly recommend this experience!."
Adarsh
"If you can do this experience, you most definitely should. lauren is an excellent host and is super knowledgeable about Eldoa and how different movements affect the human body and why (with the help of charts and explanations). Being a newbie to Eldoa I was able to quickly see the benefits from doing it just once. Sitting at a desk for most of the day, I generally end up with tightness in the neck and the shoulder region. After thius experience, I feel so much better. i'm going to incorporate what I learnt here on a daily basis and I'd highly recommend thius experience to everyone!"
