TEACHING STUDENTS WITH PHYSICAL CHALLENGES
with Samara Speller

Friday, November 6th (2pm-4pm)
Price: $30

Starting a yoga practice can be intimidating especially for students who don't consider themselves flexible enough, strong enough or who have a fear of re-injuring themselves. For people living with old injuries, chronic pain or who simply haven't stretched or exercised for the majority of their lives, our first goal as teachers is to teach them how to have a new and more fulfilling experience of being in a body. In this workshop we will focus on teaching older students, “stiff” students with limited range of motion in their joints and those with acute nervous systems. We’ll explore more accessible variations of poses such as pigeon and reverse prayer as well as techniques for helping a student feel safe, held and empowered.

Questions about your own students are welcomed and encouraged!
