Fortunately\, Yoga shows promise to improve a variety of fall risk factors—and to reduce injury when falls are unavoidable – particularly if the practices\, delivery\, guidance and cueing are suitable. \n  \nJoin Shelly Prosko\, physiotherapist and yoga therapist\, for this 6-week series as she guides you through the key yoga practices and principles used in the Balance Flow Yoga intervention that she co-developed for a recent study evaluating the effect of yoga on fall risk factors and injury risk. \nThis series is more than just about improving your balance! \nOther injury and fall risk factors include: pelvic floor function; upper body mobility\, strength and landing capacity; lower extremity strength; core strategy and timing\, including how we breathe; and balance confidence! \n  \n*This is a class setting where one-on-one balance assistance will not be provided. \nParticipants must be able to stand and walk independently and safely. \nOptions will always be offered such as use of chairs and walls for additional support and safety as indicated. \n  \n**This class is not meant to act as medical advice or treatment. Please ensure you have clearance to participate in a group fitness class from your licensed healthcare provider before participating. \n  \n***This research studied a group of women aged 50–70\, although the principles and practices can be applied to any gender or age range for general balance health and fall-related injury prevention. \nAll genders and adult ages are welcomed and encouraged to participate in this series! \n  \nThis series takes place EVERY WEDNESDAY from….. \nFeb 1  –  March 8\, 2023 \n6:15pm – 7:15pm \nThat’s 6 sessions for $150 CAD! \n  \nREGISTER HERE to join Shelly for this 6-week series. \n  \n  \nFor more information about the Balance Flow Yoga intervention from the study The Effect of Yoga on Decreasing the Risk of Fall-related Injury in Peri-and Post-menopausal Women visit: \nhttps://rehabscience.usask.ca/srs-news/2021/balance-flow-yoga.php \n  \n  \nAbout your teacher: \nShelly Prosko\, PT\, C-IAYT\, PCAYT \nShelly is a physiotherapist\, yoga therapist\, educator\, author and pioneer of PhysioYoga with over 24 years of experience integrating yoga into physiotherapy within a variety of specialty areas such as pelvic health\, chronic pain\, professional burnout and overall health and well-being promotion and creation. \nShe co-developed the Balance Flow Yoga intervention for research at the School of Rehabilitation Science\, at the University of Saskatchewan\, Canada. \nShelly teaches at several yoga\, yoga therapy and physiotherapy schools\, presents at yoga and medical conferences globally\, contributes to academic research and writing\, provides resources for the general population\, and offers continuing education courses and mentorship for yoga and healthcare professionals.

SUMMARY:Self-Compassion: The Foundation of Self-Care - In-Person!
DESCRIPTION:Self-care is a popular term these days. \nWhile many of us would agree that taking care of oneself is a good thing\, each of us may have different ideas of what self-care looks like or we may struggle with balancing our needs and the needs of those we love\, particularly if we don’t receive the support we need. \nThe act of “self-care” often becomes yet another item on our “to do” list or an added pressure or expectation in an unrelenting pursuit of better health – which can result in the opposite of self-care. \n  \nSelf-compassion has been shown to be a powerful antidote to many unwanted health issues. \nMany of us\, including some researchers\, consider self-compassion to be the foundation of\ngenuine self-care. \n  \nIn this workshop we will explore\, reflect\, move\, learn\, and experience the dynamic process of self-compassion and redefine how self-care might show up in your life\, offering you and those\nyou love a thriving path forward. \n  \nYou will learn and experience ways to cultivate and integrate a compassionate way of being in your daily life\, amidst uncertainty and adversity\, to help carve a path forward that may be sustained beyond tumultuous times. \n  \n  \nWhat to bring:\nBring a journal or notepad\, pen\, something to lie on (yoga-type mat or large towel)\, and wear comfortable clothing. \n  \n  \nThis workshop is In-Person in Red Deer\, Alberta at Breathing Room Yoga + Psycle: \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout your teacher: \nShelly is a physiotherapist\, yoga therapist\, educator\, author and pioneer of PhysioYoga with over 24 years of experience integrating yoga into physiotherapy within a variety of specialty areas including chronic pain\, pelvic health\, self-compassion and professional burnout.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 15: Connection\, Meaningful Relationship and Purpose in Life – Social and Existential Concerns in Pain Care \nPresenter: Marlysa Sullivan \nSocial and spiritual aspects of pain care are often poorly understood in both their importance and application to client/patient care. Spiritual well-being includes themes of aligning with one’s core values\, meaning and purpose\, and connectedness extending from the personal\, to social relationships\, to something more abstract or transcendent. \nThe philosophy of eudaimonia provides a secular perspective on these themes of spiritual well-being. Eudaimonia looks at what it means to flourish\, to connect to one’s highest purpose and live a meaningful life. \nEudaimonic well-being has been used as a concept in research to discuss a steadfast contentment that comes from living in alignment with one’s values\, self-actualization\, authenticity\, and having a sense of purpose and meaning. Research supports the many benefits of spiritual and eudaimonic well-being for pain care. \nFoundational to yoga philosophy and practice are these themes of spiritual and eudaimonic well-being including that of connectedness to one’s essential nature\, to others\, aligning with one’s values\, and a concept of purpose that supports one’s flourishing in a way that supports those around them. \nThese concepts of connection\, meaning and purpose\, and values will be discussed through the perspectives of spiritual well-being\, eudaimonic well-being and yoga philosophy and practice. An evidence-informed discussion will also help to facilitate the application of these ideas in a patient/client centered manner for the benefit of a biopsychosocial spiritual well-being for pain care \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 15:\n\nExamine the definition and importance of the spiritual domain of health for pain care from an evidence-informed perspective\nReflect on the concept of eudaimonic well-being as a secular perspective to spiritual well-being and its importance to pain care from an evidence-informed perspective\nExamine yoga philosophies and practices that align with spiritual and eudaimonic well-being\nApply the themes of spiritual and eudaimonic well-being to specific yoga practices for pain care from a patient/client centered perspective\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 15 with Marlysa Sullivan (facilitated by Shelly Prosko and Neil Pearson) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 14: Compassion in Pain Care \nPresenter: Shelly Prosko \nCompassionate 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. \nWithout 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. As healthcare providers\, it is assumed we will provide ongoing compassionate care. However\, research shows the capacity for providing and receiving compassion can vary and depend on many factors. \nFortunately\, growing research also suggests compassion can be trained and can improve pain care and protect against practitioner burnout and empathic distress. \nJoin Shelly for this webinar that will provide a guiding path to enhance compassion that can then improve pain care and the health and wellbeing of ourselves and those we serve. \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 14:\n\nDescribe components of compassion and self-compassion and their value in pain care for both the person in pain and the healthcare professional.\nOutline challenges and barriers we face that influence or inhibit our ability to offer and receive compassion.\nUnderstand contemporary views surrounding compassion fatigue and empathic distress.\nLearn practical tips and experience practices that prime for compassion and cultivate self-compassion that can be shared with patients and also immediately be integrated into your own daily home and workplace routine.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 14 with Shelly Prosko (facilitated by Marlysa Sullivan and Neil Pearson) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 13: Pain\, A Loss to be Grieved \nPresenter: Antonio Sausys \nGrief counselling may be the most neglected aspect of pain care within modern pain management programs. We lose so much when pain persists. Given the power of grief\, and that anything able to drive the hypervigilance of the individual and the nervous systems can maintain pain\, understanding grief and pain is vital. \nIn this webinar\, Antonio will discuss loss\, grief and pain\, their relationships and similarities and how they affect one another. Specific ideas and practices of yoga to work with loss\, grief and pain through this lens will be offered. \nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nGiven that pain has a strong subjective component\, by learning new ways to connect with it\, and practicing new ways of addressing it\, an individual can become much more suited to manage it. Empowering individuals to take matters in their own hands increases self-efficacy and is effective in turning around the often confrontational and hostile inner dialogue with pain. Thus an individual can tap into the ‘call to reconnect’ meta message that pain entails. It is often recognized that while pain is unavoidable\, suffering – resulting from the mental and emotional responses to pain – is. Reducing suffering is key to both pain management and grief work and\, at the same time\, one of the core goals of Yoga.” \nIn Yoga and Science in Pain Care  – Chapter 13\, Sausys expresses that “pain disrupts the balanced state of health and\, at the same time\, signals the need to return to it. It can be associated to tissue damage\, resulting in physical pain\, or derived from the damage caused to the connective psychic matrix that ensures the integrity of the self\, resulting in psychological pain. In any case\, the balance of physical or psychological health we are attached to for normal functioning is ruptured or lost. Then pain\, as a primary loss\, elicits the appearance of several secondary losses such as loss of functionality\, income\, status\, quality of life\, self-image\, body and psychological identity amongst others. Pain and grief are intimately related basic human experiences that enter into a particular feedback loop that perpetuates each other’s appearance. For that reason\, it is important to understand how these two processes are related and the implications of their interconnection.” \nIn this Webinar\, Antonio will:\n\nIdentify pain as a loss to be grieved\nExplain the interconnectedness of both processes\nExplore possible meta communications of pain\nExpose how individual’s self-involvement through practice can enhance efficacy in pain management\nGuide three techniques to: balance emotional reactivity to pain\, cognitively reframe the experience of pain and deidentify oneself from painful experiences\nAnswer to emerging comments and questions\n\n  \nTo register for just for Chapter 13 with Antonio Sausys (facilitated by Shelly Prosko\, Marlysa Sullivan and Neil Pearson) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

We will discuss the philosophical context and practices of yoga in connection to these topics.  \nWe hope that a greater understanding of addiction will increase compassion towards the people living in pain\, and decrease one of the most powerful stigmas around pain. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Discover how yoga philosophy provides a framework for both understanding the root causes for pain and addiction.\n\n\n Explore the growing body of research supporting yoga and other mindfulness-based interventions as important complementary mind/body adjunctive approaches for the treatment of addiction.\n\n\n Explore a new integrative paradigm for addiction recovery that combines traditional yoga philosophy and practices (asana\, pranayama\, meditation) and western psychological treatments.\n\n\n Practice specific asana\, pranayama\, and meditation practices that can be utilized as part of an integrative approach to addiction recovery.\n\n  \nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 12 with Tracey Meyers (facilitated by Shelly Prosko\, Marlysa Sullivan and Neil Pearson) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga Therapy in Pain Care - Live Online
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 20-25% of North Americans and 1.5 billion people worldwide live with chronic pain and a growing number of health professionals are recommending yoga to their patients particularly since we now have research to support yoga is a potentially safe and effective approach for improving function\, pain and quality of life for people with chronic pain. \nYoga therapists are well positioned to contribute to a comprehensive pain care plan. However\, misunderstandings about pain by the therapist can result in suboptimal outcomes for the person in pain\, where the therapist might use language that unintentionally limits the potential for recovery and resilience or might avoid yoga practices that ultimately would improve tissue health\, reduce inflammation\, support self-efficacy\, help restore more ease of movement\, and help regain activities that the person enjoys and values in life. \nThis module includes a combination of lecture and experiential components\, including participation in awareness\, breathing\, meditation and movement practices. Resources will be shared that will be valuable for the therapist to use for themselves and to share with the people in pain they serve. \nThis module is being delivered online.  \nThere is a total of 12 hours live online and approximately 10 hours of videos and reading material included. \nLIVE ONLINE sessions will be over 3 days: \nSaturday June 26\, 2021: 9am – 1:30pm PST \nSunday June 27\, 2021: 9am – 1:30pm PST \nTuesday July 6\, 2021: 5pm – 8pm PST \nRegister at Ajna Yoga Therapy: CLICK HERE \n(photo credit above: Billy Pasco Unsplash)\n

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 10: Ingredients for Pain Care – Nutrition and Yoga \nPresenter: Matt Erb \nFood can either enhance or detract from health. Food carries powerful ingredients and vast information from the environment to the body. In relation to pain we know that pain biology involves neurophysiological\, inflammatory\, immune\, and other interacting dynamics. Properties of food can be an important part of a larger recipe of ingredients that may carry direct impact on pain biology. While it is easy to say that good nutrition is an important facet to address for persons experiencing persistent pain or other health challenges\, we must bridge the gap between idealism and realism. \nThe concept of “food as medicine” must be mindful to not fall into preaching or privilege. Access to food and other systemic dynamics interact with each individual’s relationship with this topic. Yoga offers a framework for exploring each person’s unique makeup\, history\, and present relationship to food\, eating\, and nutrition. \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 10:\n\nFormulate and express an understanding of evidence-informed concepts in nutrition as relates to pain biology.\nExplain links between stress\, eating\, and mental\, emotional and behavioral health\nApply intra- and interpersonal values/ethics to enhance one’s understanding of and approach to taking committed action around one’s relationship with food and eating\nSummarize the potential benefits of applying principles of mindfulness to one’s relationship to food and eating\nExperience principles of mindful eating to self and be able to share these principles and experiments with others\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 10 with Matt Erb (facilitated by Shelly Prosko\, Marlysa Sullivan and Neil Pearson) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 7: Integrating Pain Science\, Education\, Movement and Yoga \nPresenter: Neil Pearson \nKnowledge can be acquired and beliefs influenced through lived experience\, through story\, and through more traditional methods of listening to a teacher or reading a book. \nResearch shows the benefits of helping people reconceptualize pain\, but as yet has not considered cognitive versus more embodied or experiential learning. Jnana yoga offers guidance in contemplative learning practices\, while science and yoga elude to the value of interoceptive education\, and more specifically to using interoceptive guidance to answer one of the least well-answered questions in pain care – “how much pain is okay when I move/exercise?” \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 7:\n\nList key misconceptions addressed in pain education.\nExplain the importance of experience when guiding individuals to new understanding of pain\, and new attitudes towards recovery.\nKnow how to guide people in pain to recover greater ease of movement through an interoceptive process.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 7 with Neil Pearson (facilitated by Marlysa Sullivan and Shelly Prosko) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 6: Polyvagal Theory and the Gunas: A Model for Autonomic Regulation in Pain \nPresenters: Marlysa Sullivan & Matt Erb \nThe autonomic nervous system is a vital component within the integrated systems-wide brain-body communication network. The ability to regulate the autonomic nervous system for relaxed and calm states of the body and mind as well as developing resilience for varying levels of activation is important for a biopsychosocial approach to pain care. The vagus nerve is an essential conduit for this information and provides both sensory/interoceptive information and a motor/parasympathetic response. \nPolyvagal Theory is a theory that explores how autonomic activation contributes to physiological and psychological states and behaviors. Yoga practices have been found to help cultivate regulation of the autonomic nervous system. In addition\, yoga philosophy has a complementary perspective of addressing underlying qualities\, or gunas\, to affect the body\, mind\, and behavior. These theoretical frameworks can be utilized to understand how the yoga perspective to pain care moves beyond a symptom-driven approach to facilitate whole person well-being. \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 6:\n\nDescribe autonomic regulation and resilience and the importance of these concepts in pain care.\n Explain the function of the vagus nerve for both interoceptive and parasympathetic function\nExamine polyvagal theory and neural platforms for regulation and resilience\nDescribe and differentiate the yoga framework of the gunas with polyvagal theory and its application to regulation and resilience within body-mind-environment interactions\nApply yoga practices to facilitate body-mind regulation and resilience utilizing the models of polyvagal theory and the gunas.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 6 with Marlysa Sullivan and Matt Erb (facilitated by Neil Pearson (and Shelly Prosko) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 5: Pain Biology and Sensitization \nPresenter: Neil Pearson \nOur understanding of pain biology continues to evolve\, opening the way for innovations in pain care\, exploration of the multiple mechanisms through which pain and ease of movement can be influenced\, and guiding clinicians to take a new look at interventions based on now-disproven theoretical premises. \nClarity and precision in our discussions of pain care are enhanced through understanding mechanisms\, classifications and terminology of pain. The lived experience of pain teaches us that “pain changes everything”\, and thus everything has the potential to change pain\, yet understanding cellular\, system and organism-based mechanisms of pain will enhance our ability to provide care that addresses the person in pain. \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 5:\n\nUnderstand key neuro-immune mechanisms of nociception\, and differentiate these from mechanisms of pain.\nExplain key changes in the peripheral\, central and autonomic nervous systems when pain persists.\nState six human behaviours through which nociception and pain can be positively influenced as part of pain care plans.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 5 with Neil Pearson (and Shelly and Marlysa facilitating) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 4: Yoga and Yoga Therapy \nThe practices\, paths\, limbs and teaching of yoga provide a valuable framework from which pain\, suffering\, and pain care can be viewed. Equally important is the practical application of yoga techniques through each of the limbs and paths of yoga\, allowing individuals to explore and learn to influence the lived experience of persisting pain. \nThis webinar dives deeper into these aspects of yoga\, while providing those just beginning exploration to understand what is yoga\, what yoga teaches about pain and suffering\, how the eight limbs of Raja yoga relate to pain care\, and how the paths of yoga provide some insights to pain management beyond the usual biopsychosocial perspectives. \nWe will also cover the development of yoga therapy as an integrative healthcare profession. This work helps to provide the background of how we are discussing yoga and yoga therapy throughout the book for pain care. \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 4:\n\nDescribe foundational yoga philosophies including the eight limbs of Raja yoga\, four paths of yoga\, concepts of dharma\, right action\, and duhkha.\nDiscuss the many paths and practices that comprise yoga\, beyond postures and breathing.\nDescribe yoga therapy as an integrative healthcare practice.\nRecognize how the pancamaya kosha perspective can enhance both assessment and treatment planning for people in pain.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 4 with Shelly\, Neil and Marlysa\, CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Insight into Compassion: The Foundation of Pain Care
DESCRIPTION:Join Shelly for this brief LIVE ONLINE presentation at The International Mental Health Festival. \nCompassion in pain care is more than just extending kindness towards people in pain. It involves gaining a more in-depth understanding and insight into the needs of the person we are serving and ourselves\, then choosing responses that serve both\, within the context of the situation. \nAs healthcare providers\, it is assumed we will provide compassionate care to those we serve\, as it is inherently part of our job. However\, research shows that the capacity for compassion can vary and depend on a wide variety of factors. There may be challenges we face that may influence or inhibit our ability to offer and receive compassion. \nJoin Shelly Prosko for this session as she outlines these challenges and the benefits of cultivating compassion and self-compassion in pain care for both the person living with pain and the health provider. \nFor more details about this free online conference and to register for this session\, CLICK HERE. \n
