Pain Care Aware™ is a program for yoga professionals, fitness professionals and healthcare professionals who work with people in pain.
Our mission is to decrease the impact of pain on individuals and society through the integration of pain science, yoga principles and practices, and compassion science.
PCA does not seek to treat pain, but rather to recognize that pain is a human condition and that our language and approach can be adapted to support students experiencing pain during yoga.
