Everyone has a pelvic floor! I hope you enjoy these beautiful yoga video practices created for you.

They are filmed in breathtaking nature settings with spectacular cinematography and soulful music uniquely created with special care and attention to the intentions of each practice.

WEBINAR:
The Role of the Pelvic Floor in Balance and Movement
Balance is a commonly overlooked component of health and wellness. Falls are the #1 cause of injuries in older adults in Canada and are considered a public health concern worldwide.
There are many factors that contribute to our balance capacity, and we don’t have to wait until our elder years to address them!
We know the pelvic floor plays key roles in bowel, bladder, sexual and reproductive function. It also plays an important role in how we move, sustain our balance and perform core strategies.
However, how the pelvic floor behaves for optimal balance and efficient movement is nuanced and deserves discussion.
Shelly Prosko, physiotherapist and yoga therapist, presents this informative webinar highlighting the components of the intervention she co-developed for a recent research project surrounding the effects of various yoga principles, practices, specific cueing and instructions used on known fall risk factors such as incontinence, balance, balance confidence, strength and mobility.

WEBINAR:
Compassion in Pain Care
Compassionate pain care is more than just extending kindness towards people in pain.
It involves the dynamic process of gaining a more in-depth understanding of the needs of the person in pain and ourselves; then choosing the best responses, within the context of the situation.
Compassionate care also means having the skills to facilitate self-compassion in our patients and in ourselves.
Without compassion for the person in pain, we cannot form an effective therapeutic relationship. And without practising self-compassion, it is difficult to continue helping people with this complex phenomenon of pain.
Research shows the capacity for providing and receiving compassion can vary and depend on many factors.
Fortunately, growing research also suggests compassion can be trained and can improve pain care and protect against practitioner burnout and empathic distress.
Join Shelly Prosko as she leads this online course. She will provide a guiding path to enhance compassion that can improve pain care and the health and wellbeing of ourselves and those we serve.

WEBINAR:
Yoga, Neuroplasticity and Pain: New Hope for Self-Empowerment and Healing
Pain is a complex and troublesome human experience that involves the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Pain strikes everyone from time to time, but millions of people suffer with pain year in and year out.
According to modern pain neuroscience, however, we may have greater influence over the experience of pain than previously thought. One of the best ways to safely and effectively manage the pain experience is to better understand its mechanism in the light of new insights into brain neuroplasticity.
Join physical therapists and yoga therapists Neil Pearson and Shelly Prosko for a 3-part webinar (two live lectures and a yoga practice) on what modern neuroscience and yoga research teaches us about the ability to change pain, even in people with complex pain conditions. Yoga offers numerous techniques that are useful for managing pain, and it can provide the lived experience that pain can be changed, and that we can learn to move with ease in the face of pain.
Neil and Shelly will discuss the physiology of pain from the perspective of new findings on neuroplasticity and pain, and also will guide you in a series of yoga techniques that can be helpful to change the experience of pain.
Because each of us is very unique, there is no specific protocol or yoga sequence for ‘yoga for pain’; but the concepts can be translated to any asana practice or individual. The techniques can be modified to suit the type of yoga class or the individual and are equally important for injury prevention as well as pain care.
What you will learn:
- The purpose of pain, and the meaning of pain intensity, quality and location.
- How neurons respond to potentially and actually dangerous inputs.
- How neurons in the body, spinal cord and brain adapt in the face of persisting pain.
- How functions of the nervous systems are influenced by all other body systems.
- Why the pain experience is changeable and how.
- The importance of starting with the basics of breath awareness and body awareness and the best techniques to use.
- Techniques for calming the nervous system and challenging your current response to pain.
- What pain science teaches us about injury prevention, and how to move and perform asana safely when experiencing pain.
This Premium Course Also Includes These Bonuses!
- Yoga Practice for Chronic Pain with Neil and Shelly. Enjoy a soothing practice excerpted from Neil and Shelly’s DVD with yoga for pain relief. Experience for yourself how to structure a yoga practice centered around enchancing somatic awareness, one important step towards resetting the body’s pain response.
