Virtual Training

Day 4: In the first half of the day, Robin will address concerns and approaches to working with students with lumbar-disc compression. She will outline indicators, risks, and demonstrate safe parameters within the Scope of Practice both as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist. The second half of the day will offer you a courtside view of Robin in action! You’ll watch her work in real- time with a new client who is presenting with chronic low back pain. You’ll witness as she goes through the intake process, postural and movement assessment, and then creates a preliminary practice for the client following the ELBP protocol. There will be time after the session for discussion and Q and A, both with the client and then separately with Robin.

Day 5: In this final day of the training, Robin will address scoliosis, a very common yet complex condition that effects many yoga teachers and students alike. Robin has years of training and experience working therapeutically with people with scoliosis. She has synthesized an approach which combines understanding from yoga, somatics, PT, and the fascial matrix to make working with scoliosis both accessible, and a highly transformative process to bring to your students. This session combines didactic learning and then case-study processes from members of the group or from Robin’s client network to demonstrate the principles in practice.

Times for the virtual training TBA.
