Yoga U Online Webinar: Pain Care Yoga
2015-Aug-Wed @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
| $67Yoga, Neuroplasticity and Pain: New Hope for Self-Empowerment and Healing
Pain is one of the most common reasons for individuals to seek assistance from medical,
therapeutic and yoga practitioners. Yet, few educational systems in western or eastern health care
include knowledge acquisition related to pain or to the lived experience of pain.
The techniques, discipline and systems of classic yoga are well-suited for integration with pain care and pain self-management techniques. A well-rounded yoga practice, incorporating any lineage of yoga asana, is one path that individuals can follow in their recovery from chronic pain conditions.
Join Neil Pearson & Shelly Prosko in this 2 part webinar (two, 1 hour webinars) hosted by Yoga U Online discussing pain science and offering an experiential component of using a variety of aspects of yoga for pain care, and addressing topics such as practicing yoga in the face of pain (how much pain is too much in yoga?)
- 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.
- Recordings of Both Sessions: Yours to keep. It’s generally acknowledged that many people only retain 10-20 percent of what they learn in a workshop. You will get the recordings of both sessions (MP3 & MP4), enabling you to go back and listen to the workshop as many times as you like.
- Transcripts of Both Sessions: Ever wanted to refer to a certain part of a course? Even the best note takers miss a point every so often. With the transcripts of the sessions, you can go back and refer to particularly important passages or clarify sections you were in doubt about.
