May 2010 Workshops
Yoga Therapy: Working with Injuries
Teacher Training Intensive
May 1-2, 2010
12:30-5:30pm both days
We commonly face injuries and other special conditions in yoga. ACL repairs, strained medial collateral ligaments, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff strain or weakness, various spinal conditions such as lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis and spondalolysthesis, recent ankle sprains and strained hamstrings are some of the conditions you are likely to find in practically every class.
In this workshop, we will start with the perspective embedded in the Chinese character for "crisis," which has the dual meaning of "danger" and "opportunity." We will learn how to work with a variety of student challenges, exploring how to turn them into opportunities for deepening the overall practice. We will look closely at specific accommodations for different injuries and challenges, including alternative alignment, energetic actions, use of props, verbal cues and hands-on adjustments.
Open to Students & Teachers. With satisfactory completion of an outside written assignment, this workshop qualifies for 12 hours toward teacher certification or Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
Price: $85
