This course also covers Obesity, Diabetes, Thyroid disorders, Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Pain, PTSD, Asthma, and COPD.
You will learn:
- Basic pathophysiology of each of the listed health challenges, including how they impact a person’s life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
- What research has been done to support the use of yoga therapy in these conditions
- How to assess your clients’ needs in terms of developing an individualized yoga therapy plan for them
- How to evaluate your yoga therapy plans and to modify them as needed
- Ways to develop group classes for people with these conditions
We review the anatomy of systems involved and basic pathophysiology for these conditions. Medical, Ayurvedic, and subtle energy perspective on these health challenges are addressed to guide the therapist's choice of interventions. In class, case studies are presented to provide time in practical application of the concepts. Students also apply the knowledge gained by writing up their experience working with volunteer clients in their community and then receiving individualized feedback from course instructors.
