Clinical Yoga for Rehabilitation, Recovery & Well-Being

In this comprehensive yoga programme, you will embark on a journey to learning the foundations of yoga, its poses and its various classes and sequences, all with a strong emphasis on intention, biomechanics, and rehabilitation. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to use yoga as a tool for holistic well-being and recovery.

Foundations of Yoga with a Rehabilitation Focus:

• Yoga's Healing History: Explore the rich history of yoga and its ancient roots in healing and therapy. Discover how yoga has been used for centuries to promote physical and mental rehabilitation.
• Poses and Sequences for Recovery: Dive deep into yoga poses and sequences specifically curated to aid in rehabilitation. Whether you're recovering from an injury, surgery, or simply seeking to enhance your physical health, these practices are tailored to your unique needs.

Assessment, Goal Setting, and Sequence Creation:

• Personalised Rehabilitation: Learn how to assess your own physical condition and set personalised rehabilitation goals. Whether your aim is to improve flexibility, alleviate pain, or regain strength, we'll guide you in creating sequences that cater to your objectives.

Enhancing Your Practice:

• The Power of Props: Discover the transformative potential of yoga props such as blocks, straps, and bolsters. These tools will support you in achieving optimal alignment and comfort during your practice, making rehabilitation more accessible.
• Breath as a Healing Force: Harness the power of your breath (pranayama) to manage pain, reduce stress, and enhance the healing process. Understand how controlled breathing can be a powerful tool in your rehabilitation journey.
• Muscle Actions and Stretches: Explore specific muscle actions and targeted stretches designed to aid in recovery. These techniques will help you restore muscle function, increase range of motion, and alleviate discomfort.

Holistic Approach to Well-being:

• Body and Mind Connection: Embrace the holistic connection between your physical and mental well-being. Yoga is not just about the body; it's about nurturing your mind and spirit. Through mindfulness and meditation, you'll learn how to find inner peace and balance.
• Stress Reduction and Mental Resilience: Yoga offers invaluable techniques for stress reduction, anxiety management, and building mental resilience. You'll discover practices to cultivate emotional well-being, promoting a positive mindset throughout your rehabilitation journey.

This unique course serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and wellness practitioners seeking to offer a more comprehensive and client-centred approach in their teaching style, with a particular focus on therapeutic outcomes.

By undertaking this comprehensive programme, you can expect not only to enhance your own understanding of yoga as a toolkit for rehabilitation and recovery but also how to effectively integrate yoga-based practices into the treatment of specific conditions.

Whether you’re a physiotherapist, osteopath, massage therapist, or any other health and wellness practitioner that is wanting to teach yoga with a more personalised approach, this course guarantees to set you apart from other practitioners and to unlock the power of yoga as a tool for rehabilitation, recovery and well-being.

This course is suitable for health and wellness practitioners with an existing knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. Unsure if that includes you? Get in touch with us here or send us an email at [email protected]. We typically respond within a few hours.

Assessment consists of:

• Initial quiz on anatomy and biomechanics

In addition, you are also expected to complete 50 hours of yoga classes (as a student, not as a teacher). This can either be face-to-face or online, but you're encouraged to receive a variety of teaching experience.

We’re with you every step of the way. As soon as you book, you’ll gain access to our online portal, meaning you can start learning immediately. In addition, Shara and our learner support team are easily accessible, and happy to help in any way we can.

Close to the in-person segment of the course, we will be in touch with the finer details associated with start times, parking and other points to note.
