Across two immersive days, you’ll bring theory into practice. Day One begins with a warm-up before exploring key topics such as ankle sprains, lower back pain, and sciatica.

You’ll take part in practical workshops on upper extremity challenges and discover how to adapt yoga for athletic clients.

Duration: Varies depending on prior experience
Whether you’re a healthcare professional or new to yoga, this course is designed to meet you where you are.

This was very much appreciated. The course itself was fantastic and I’ve used some of the techniques…

The Clinical Yoga course with Shara is outstanding. The most useful and engaging course that I have attended since qualifying 16yrs ago.
AGENDA
Over two transformative days, you’ll develop the practical skills to integrate yoga into healthcare and rehabilitation with confidence and clarity. With expert guidance and hands-on learning, you’ll explore how yoga can support physical recovery, enhance mental well-being, and enrich your clinical toolkit.

On Day 2, you’ll expand on foundational techniques to tackle more complex issues, from knee, hip, and thoracic pain to upper extremity injuries.
