*300 Hour Therapeutics Track Required Training

Participants of this program can expect to:

Gain knowledge about how to work with asana optimally, as well as modifications and ways to work with injury
Understand how to “read” students’ bodies in asana and look for structural imbalances contributing to pain and dysfunction
Gain basic insight on the relationship between chronic pain and the nervous system, including pranayama and meditation techniques to work with chronic pain conditions

In this workshop you will learn a functional, integrated approach to evaluation through looking at movement and asana as well as specific muscle testing techniques. You will learn techniques to help you “read” your student’s body through their asana practice. This course will give you a more functional understanding of what is going on in the body and how certain imbalances may lead to pain and dysfunction. The development of a personalized plan of care and personalized asana practice for your student based on this evaluation will be taught. After this course, you will be able to help students with musculoskeletal dysfunctions (for example: back pain, neck pain, arthritis, tendonitis) by finding their imbalances and helping them to find a yoga practice to restore balance as well as modify asanas as needed.
