Description

Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to guide your students in transforming their relationship with pain, empowering them to live more fully.

Learn evidence-based methods that focus on relaxation, breath work, and body awareness, enabling you to create personalized sequences that cater to each student’s unique needs.

Chronic pain affects more people worldwide than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined, and results in sleep disturbances, fatigue, emotional stress, muscular tension and more. Using a combination of ancient yoga practices and modern physiological treatment modalities, this two-day training will provide the yoga therapist the necessary tools to work with students and clients suffering from chronic pain.
