Therapeutic yoga is a holistic practice that helps your students move out of pain and live more fully. You will learn how to recognize poor posture in your students, and how to help them coun-ter faulty movement patterns with aligned asana. Not only poor physical habits but an array of health issues can be addressed or alleviated using yoga therapeutics. We will apply universal principles of yoga on an individual basis to serve all beings including those with specific health conditions, challenges, physical limitations or injury recovery. Our practices approach the body prescriptively and personally so that we help facilitate a greater flow of energy and health in each student.
Lead facilitator is Kelly Haas, Internationally Associated Yoga Therapist. She is one of few certified yoga therapists in the Gulf Region. Kelly has nearly two decades teaching experience, and she will orchestra and guide you through the entire training.
Guest facilitator & assistant, Katherine Wilder, will offer a posture analysis clinic and functional anatomy throughout the training to teach us how to train our eyes and interpret what we are see-ing and what symptoms are present. Then, through the lens of yoga, Kelly and Katherine will create and adapt asana sequences to best balance individuals. You will be an integrated part of the process!
