CPD Hypermobility and Yoga (Online)

Description

Hypermobility and Yoga – Risks, Skills Development and Longevity. 

All yoga teachers welcome.

Hypermobility is commonly evident in yoga classes (and among yoga teachers), but is it catered for? Are adaptations optional or essential for a condition that can range from asymptomatic to debilitating, and what happens with age?

Hypermobility may initially seem like a blessing in yoga, yet it can present unique – and possibly surprising – challenges, ranging from joint pain, stiffness and tension, a propensity for injury, compensatory imbalances, a scattered mind and difficulty with spatial awareness. There can be co-occurring conditions.

With care and patience, yoga is a supportive practice for hypermobility, with benefits extending far into daily life. How can we, as teachers, best work with hypermobility, so that yoga remains safe, enjoyable, beneficial and sustainable? How can approaches for hypermobility benefit the whole class? Join us to explore this important subject and refine new skills and understanding in a supportive, interactive environment.
