Over 100 billion dollars are spent annually in the United States on back pain. In December 2005, the Annals of Internal Medicine reported that yoga is an effective treatment for chronic back pain. These results were found in a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the yoga protocol in that study was designed by Gary Kraftsow using the gentle approach of Viniyoga. This methodology will be used as the basis to learn and experience specific therapeutic sequences for the lower back, sacrum and hips, as well as the upper back, neck and shoulders, and is designed for therapists, teachers, and individual who suffer from any type of back pain. In the following sessions you will develop structural goals including: skeletal alignment, joint stability, muscular resilience and functional neuromuscular movement patterns. You will also begin to examine optimal metabolic functioning, which is the most important of our physiological systems.
Saturday - Viniyoga Therapy for Low Back, Sacrum and Hips
12:30pm-3pm
4pm-6:30pm
Gary will present the means and methods for working with chronic and acute structural conditions including: assessment, goals, treatment strategy and application. Explore biomechanics of the lower back, sacrum and hips, and the types of problems that can affect these areas. We will experience a sequence of adapted asanas designed to relieve symptoms and strengthen these areas of the body.
Sunday – Viniyoga Therapy for Upper Back, Neck and Shoulders
12:30pm-3pm
