Classical asana classes for people with disabilities, chronic illnesses or injuries.
In this practical 9-day further training programme for yoga teachers, you will learn how to adapt a classical asana class to the needs of students with physical disabilities or chronic illness, the elderly, and people with injuries. This can range from teaching slightly modified classes, to entire classes taught in a chair or in a bed.
The course focuses on the practical application of yoga techniques and the psychological insight necessary for helping students with disabilities – no matter what their age – to better utilise yoga in their personal healing.
