Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training 14hrs
The course teaches the foundations of yoga postures, breathing and practices so students may be able to gain mobility and strength. It is especially important for students who have never practiced yoga or have not developed body awareness through physical activity as injuries happen often with those who jump in unprepared for yoga classes.
This set of practices focused on small dynamic movements until the whole body is systematically warmed up and joints that are normally underused are prepared for weight-bearing and other postures. Certain movements influence blood flow, loosen tense muscles and connective tissue, others strengthen the small muscles to prepare for bigger movements.
These therapeutic sequences aim to loosen up the joints of the body eliminating energy blockages in the joints of the body, improve coordination, self-awareness and self-confidence. The exercises and movements are done slowly and consciously in order to build up concentration and awareness of what is happening in their body. People suffering from rheumatism, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart problems or other ailments who are advised not to involve in any vigorous/strenuous physical exercise can practice this group of asanas.
This series of warm-ups practiced 2 to 3x a week for 3 months regularly will develop the following:
Awareness of the body in movement
Ability to synchronize the breath with movements
Awareness of the Life force (Prana)
Strengthen the small muscles around the joints
Ability to isolate muscle movements and contractions
How to protect vulnerable areas in the body while developing strength
Prepare the body for weight-bearing exercises
Decrease pain in joints
Gain energy and stamina
Learn how to relax deeply
Awareness of the body in physical movement – Awareness is developed through interactions between various components of the body
by paying close attention to the sensations in the body and also keeping record of each completed movement. It is also performed slowly and simply enough to remain aware of thoughts arising in the mind. This method of practice induces a state of peace, balance and one-pointedness concentration and helps the student to stay mentally and physically present. Even when pain is experienced in movements or positions, students can notice to decrease of discomfort with repeated practice.
Awareness synchronized with breathing – Synchronizing the breath with the physical movements helps your movements slow down, this in turn slows the brain waves further enhancing relaxation and awareness. This synchronization revitalizes the body and improves functioning of internal organs with a greater influence at the physical and pranic level and effectively stimulates and balances the pranic energy flowing through the nadis.
Awareness of the movement of prana - Prana may be experienced as a tingling sensation in the body to which one becomes sensitized with practice. Mentally, one may feel light, yet one-pointed, emotionally fresh and receptive. Periodic rest is crucial and it is recommended to sit quietly in the base position for a minute or so with the eyes closed after every two or three practices. While doing this, you develop awareness of the internal energy patterns, and the mental and emotional processes. Importance of the rest period is equal to the asanas you perform in The Therapeutic exercises.
