Therapeutic Yoga Intensive Toronto September 2010
To register for this session, please contact Susi first since a series of pre-requisites are required.
This training is designed for yoga teachers who want to understand and teach therapeutic yoga using techniques that are time tested for over10 years, have been utilized in mainstream research programs, and are being used effectively by yoga teachers across the globe. The pre-requisite to this training is at least 12 hours of training with me and a solid desire to teach therapeutic yoga classes. I am limiting the numbers to enable you to go DEEP, to truly learn and fundamentally understand the important pieces that create successful therapeutic yoga programs, and to have the unique opportunity to address your specific therapeutic needs.
In this training, you will explore the therapeutic approach I have been using successfully for over 12 years. This approach combines a modern understanding of anatomy, kinesiology and physiology with the ancient wisdom of yoga to restore function, increase vitality and enhance wellbeing. In this training, we'll be working with structural and physiological issues.
Here is a portion of what you will learn:
1. Understand the typical body patterns, which cause injury and inhibit recovery.
2. Questions to ask in order to gather information about a student's condition and situation.
3. How to "read" the person who has the condition or injury, and how to program for the person first, then the condition/injury.
4. Understand and apply the principles of Better Body Balance as they relate to: improving the functioning of the neck, shoulder, elbows, wrists, back, hips, knees; extreme fatigue; post cancer-treatment recovery.
5. Based on the principles of Better Body Balance, learn how to create a program for recovery and rehabilitation.
6. How to work with emotional holding patterns.
7. Understand psychological interactions between student and teacher and set a framework for boundaries.
8. How to successfully create therapeutic yoga programs for people with pain and injury.
Location: Toronto, ON

What people are saying:
Your therapeutic yoga training added a new dimension to my own practice as well as my knowledge base for helping others find ease and balance in their own body and life. I have been to many trainings and workshops but nothing that compares to this.
Thank you!

I did not come away with a neat set of rules telling me exactly what to do, no absolutes. What I got was an experience in how to honestly feel what is happening within my own body, see what is happening in another person's body, think clearly about how to improve movement, to ease pain, and discomfort and trust the wisdom and instincts of the body. Susi is a person of highest integrity; she perfectly embodies her teaching.

I love how Susi can bring us to awareness in such a clear and accessible way.

Susi's teaching style very much mirrors her writing style. Always experiential and explorative, challenging the participants to be actively engaged in the learning process. She is always a great resource for ideas that will ultimately benefit your clients.
