NEW! Structural Yoga Therapy™ for Accidents and Injuries

Mukunda Stiles

CANCELLED

Course Details

Accidents often leave lingering symptoms that stress asana practice. For people who suffer from injuries, yoga practice should be adapted to stay aligned with Patanjali’s description of Classical Asana experience as being “steady and comfortable”. This 4 Day intensive course will teach how to prevent and resolve common life injuries. This course is based on the anatomy of movement assessments so you will learn assessment methods to test flexibility and muscle tone as a means of establishing a sattvic, harmonious personalized yoga and spiritual practice. The course will be followed by a day for individual sessions at an additional cost.

Arrival and Departure

The course begins at 8:00am on the first day and ends at 6:00pm on the last day.

Please plan to arrive at the Yoga Retreat at least one day before the start of the course and to leave at least one day after the course completion.

We recommend that you spend at least a few days in the Yoga Retreat before the start of your course. This allows your body and mind time to rest, re-energise and be nourished by the ashram environment. You can then begin your study feeling relaxed and refreshed. You may also wish to stay for some days after the end of the course to allow the learning from your study to integrate more fully into your consciousness within the supportive environment of the ashram. If you decide to arrive early and to stay longer, please register for the Yoga Vacation Program for those additional days. Please see calendar of events for guest programs on offer around the time of your visit.
