Description
Testimonial
The ‘Yoga Therapy: Therapeutic Applications of Posture, Movement and Breathing” course includes many real life cases, to show that yoga therapy is a science that varies from individual to individual and needs to be administered personally for each individual case. Filmed in front of a live audience, the cases covered were unscripted and as such give participants a real-life experience of how diverse injury – and treatment – can be, particularly for clients with a long history of ailments and illnesses. The course stresses that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to work with the body – what works well on one person may not work well on another.
This course does not qualify you to practice as a yoga therapist but intends to guide you to start to understand basic principles of how to think about and approach your yoga practice so as not to damage yourself or others.

Why study Yoga Therapy?
Many people practice exercises way beyond their understanding and physical capability, which is why it is so easy to get injured. If you’re a yoga teacher and would like to deal with your students’ ailments and conditions safely and effectively, first you have to understand the anatomy and physiology of your own body. Once you have understood how to manage your own ailments and injuries, it’s then much easier to start giving advice to other people.
