Yoga Workshops The Art of Balance Through Breath and Movement The mechanics of the simplest asana, vrksasana (tree pose) are the same and applicable to the most complicated and difficult postures. Even the transitions from asana to asana employ the exact same methodology. In this class you will learn where in the body each posture requires strength and where those same postures require stretch. You will learn and feel where and how to stabilize the body parts for ultimate balance. Finally, you will learn how that balance elicits surrender and softening to each pose. Yoga and Walking We pass through tadasana with every step we take, anchoring with each footstep and lengthening with fluidity out of this anchoring. This lens will give you a way to apply how you walk to every posture in yoga and vice versa. You will be able to analyze and create your own balance in changing the way that you walk. With each step away from this class, you will have more insight into healing your structure with a physical base that draws you into the integration and synergy of your body, mind and spirit. "Sherry revolutionized my understanding of balancing and healing the body, this course is a must for every Yoga teacher, student and anyone with chronic injuries." - Max Strom Healing Your Knees Within Your Yoga Practice Our knees are: shock-absorbers when we land springboards when we jump transmitters when we are still, and propellers when step forward All of these collude as beautiful links in any or all of these ways for balance postures. This class is designed to help you understand why your knees ache, specific diagnoses, and various degrees of each. We'll discuss "high signs" with knees, and ways to prevent further discomforts. We'll work with ways that ankles and hips contribute to their aches and modifications in postures to prevent these. And finally, we'll look at how new patterns can be strengthened both on and off the mat. Heal Your Back Within Your Yoga Practice When back pain occurs: Should you practice or would rest be more helpful? Which postures are healing, and which are troublesome? Is fear a factor and if so, how do you unravel that? Are there times when working through pain is appropriate? How do you learn to feel the variance in your own edges, so that you know when to respectfully back away, modify a posture, or rest it out? How long should a back injury take to heal? What other movements or even yoga postures in your daily life, are unwittingly contributing to your back pain? And lastly, can you actually feel, when your spine is being fully supported by your abdominal muscles, as you move through your asana practice? We will address these and other issues and teach you how to heal your back within your yoga practice. Physical Therapy & Yoga Therapy Workshops Gait for Pain Relief - Register In this one-day seminar, clinicians will learn and develop the philosophy, principles and practical skills involved in understanding the engineering system of the body. Students will learn to use this system comprised of three parts; first, they will evaluate both static and dynamic postures to uncover strategic movement compensations. Next, they will learn to use a specific series of Corrective Gait techniques designed to treat the source of pain by simply remodeling the gait pattern. And finally, they will learn to match corroborative exercises to each gait correction thereby assimilating this newly established gait pattern. Ninety percent of your patient’s structural pain can be sourced in how they walk. This is a corrective intervention designed to restore functional balance to the body in the most repetitive movement pattern we use: Gait. Using Yoga Therapeutically - Register Yoga is a 5000 year old self-awareness technology, which uses mechanically brilliant exercises (postures), to balance and heal the body, to calm the nervous system and to quiet the mind. The process of learning includes alignment, strength and flexibility as some of the integral structural components. These, along with focused mind body connections and breath work, are the mainstays of all yoga styles. In this workshop, we will literally and comprehensively move through all of the basic yoga postures to understand and experience their mechanics and their relationships to normal and stable movement patterns. We will also discuss their capacities for healing specific injuries, and the healing power of the yoga process. This course is designed to educate therapists in the fundamentals of yoga therapy for application in a clinical setting.
