Continuing Education || Therapeutics 1 || The Unique & Universal Body || Focus on Lower Body Therapeutic Concerns (Feet, Knee, Hip, and Lower Pain)

From August 23, 2024 at 2:00 pm until August 25, 2024 at 4:00 pm at Dumbo
Schedule:

August 25th, Sunday — 9-11:15am, 12-4pm
We are all unique and yet we are all part of the same One and have much in common. We all have a similar skeleton structure and we all have a breath, yet how each of them manifest is a little different. Teaching yoga is a challenge when you have so many various bodies in the room. What works for someone doesn’t work for someone else. However, finding anatomical neutral, finding the breath, finding our own baseline, is the first step. From there, the body can begin to build strength and heal. Therapeutic issues are often a problem of overuse or misalignment in repetition. We can help our students to become aware of small fixes that make a big difference! This segment will be integrated with 200 TT so that ADV TT students are able to practice and analyze therapeutic issues on other bodies.
This module will consider the body holistically, of course it is all connected! However, we will detail observation, assessment, and therapeutics for lower body issues. What is above is below and what is below- above. So our foundation supports everything above. We start to understand and even see how the arches affect the alignment of the leg/ the pelvic floor and even up to the torso. We will observe and start to be able to see how the tightness in hips affects the pull on the back and therefore the shoulder girdle. From observation and ability to see where the pulls are or obstructions are, we can further guide as helper to release tension and build strength from the more appropriate places.
