Injury Prevention for Yoga

This training will take a deep dive into human anatomy & physiology, injury prevention, and how to better assist students in creating the best practice that works for their bodies.

We’ll unpack the phrase “listen to your body” to provide valuable context and actionable tools for students to better connect with themselves. Learn the most common injuries in yoga, the mechanisms by which they can occur, and the steps to decrease the risk of these injuries. We’ll take a detailed look into the most common injuries students come in with (pre-existing) and how this may affect mechanics and practice. Within each condition, there will be plenty of variations/options provided to work around injuries to assist students in enjoying a safe practice (and understanding why these variations are beneficial). We’ll also explore language/verbiage ideas to help your students connect with their bodies, tips for promoting safe practice environments, and staying within the scope of work as a yoga teacher.
