Functional Synergy:  Preventing Yoga Injuries

        Susi Hately Aldous


Saturday, May 17 1:00-6:00 pm
Therapeutic Yoga for the Shoulders and Hips 
       Explore the Shoulders and Hips and specific yoga asanas that help bring balance and
       function to these areas of the body. 
Sunday, May 18 11:00-4:00 pm
Advancing Your Practice: The Art of Slowing Down
     Take it the next step into Advanced Asanas like Downward Dog, Triangle and Camel.
     We'll apply the therapeutic principles so that you truly settle in your asana, and feel 
     what is going on in your body. 

There are days you look into the room of students and you wonder, how do I teach all these different bodies? What do I do with the person whose shoulders are really tight, or a back that has a tendency to act up. How do I give those people ease, and yet, give others a challenge without over-extending them? 

This 2 day training will engage these questions and give you tools that will help. As a result, you will learn many modifications to help students get a good sense of how their body moves in different asanas. It will also give you some suggestions and ideas on how to progress a student from a therapeutic practice into a regular yoga practice. 

This is a practice session that will weave in anatomy so that you can blend intellectual knowledge with what you are feeling. In the end, you will leave feeling lighter, stronger, more stable and quite at ease.
