Practicing for Pain Management
A special workshop to understand the practicalities of managing pain
Saturday December 18th 2 – 4 pm PST / 5 – 7 pm EST on zoom
Yoga can help you manage and cope with chronic pain, whether it is consistent pain or debilitating pain that stops you in your tracks. In this workshop we will explore the how to work with different phases of rest and activity as a means for recuperation and recovery.
Our time together will be part discussion, part asana & part yoga philosophy integration. Kelly has been dealing with chronic pain for over 13 years. She will share coping skills, poses that have helped bring comfort during flare-ups and poses that can help you stay ahead of pain. The goal of this workshop is to create a supportive environment and community so that everyone can practice together and develop skills for finding comfort and inspiration during challenging pain obstacles.
The workshop will include these topics:
- Presentation about pain management that includes coping skills and how yoga can help
- Time for Questions & Answers
- Discussion to develop more ideas for help and a supportive community for those who live with frequent or chronic pain
- Asana Practice
- Breath Work & Philosophy Integration
This course is designed for those with at least 6 months of consistent Iyengar Yoga practice. It is not for students who have trouble standing up without support or those who cannot get up and down from the floor on their own. These conditions can be better addressed with private yoga sessions.
Please have these props: 1 belt, 3 blankets, 1 bolster, 1 backless yoga chair, 2 blocks, & a cleared off wall space.
Teachers and teachers-in-training who want to learn to better help their students are encouraged to attend this special program.
