As yoga teachers we are sought-after healers and our students will come to us when they are in pain. It’s important to recognize we may have the tools to help with the pain and minimize the symptoms but we are not healthcare practitioners and shouldn’t diagnose. We can help our students to make appropriate adjustments to protect and/or strengthen weaker or vulnerable places in their bodies. It is important to understand correct alignment, how to use props to support postures, and offer modifications to prevent injuries. As we improve our knowledge as teachers on how to read bodies and give adjustments, we can meet student's individual needs.
What we will be doing in this training:
We will slowly climb up each platform of the body and refine each section to create stability and support vulnerable places like the knees, lower back, shoulders, and neck. Deepen your understanding of anatomy and the nervous system and how you can create practices to support the deeper muscles that support your skeleton and enhance the relaxation response. Each morning will open up with a workshop style practice focusing on a specific platform, followed by discussion and theory, and ending the day with a hands on adjustment clinic and restorative yoga.
