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 9: Body Awareness\, Bhavana and Pratyahara \nPresenter: Dr. Lori Rubenstein Fazzio \nBody awareness is a multidimensional mind-body construct that involves proprioception\, interoception and exteroception and is influenced by thought processes including beliefs\, memories\, attitudes\, affect\, past experience\, evaluation and attention.  Maladaptive body awareness is correlated with increased physical and emotional pain whereas cultivating non-judgmental\, non-evaluative body awareness is associated with reduced pain and suffering. \nThis webinar will explore both modern medical and yogic perspectives of how subtle body yoga practices can be used to cultivate adaptive body awareness and modulate pain (or modulate the pain experience). \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 9:\n\nExplain the difference between maladaptive body awareness and adaptive body awareness and how this relates to persistent pain.\nUnderstand how cultivating awareness of the subtle body through the senses can support people in pain.\nLearn how the practice of pratyahara as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras correlates with modern research and how this can support people in pain.\nBe able to guide clients through a novel visualization practice for cultivating awareness and supporting people in pain.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 9 with Dr. Lori Rubenstein Fazzio (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

He will make it fun\, he’ll probably make fun of a few of our misperceived theories\, and he welcomes your discussion at the conclusion of the webinar. \nLearning Objectives for Chapter 3:\n\nHave fun reviewing some pain theories and the present state of uncertainty that has become more acutely evident this year.\nLeave with a framework to better appreciate and celebrate your present circumstances in working with yoga and pain care.\nBe able to articulate that your ongoing creative responses are normal and fallible\, and certain to change.\n\nTo register for just for Chapter 3 with Dr. Matthew Taylor\, Shelly\, Neil and Marlysa\, CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Pain Society of Alberta Virtual Conference: Yoga Therapy: A Contribution to Comprehensive Pain Care
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Therapy: A Contribution to Comprehensive Pain Care \nShelly Prosko\, PT\, C-IAYT \nDescription: \nPeople in pain are seeking yoga as a complement to their pain care. A growing number of medical professionals are recommending yoga to their patients and an increasing number of clinicians are integrating yoga into their professional practice. Clinicians and people in pain are in need of accessible and cost-effective treatment options that encompass an evidence-informed\, biopsychosocial\, patient-centered and empowering approach to chronic pain care. \nYoga therapy is a health practice that offers such an approach and is being more widely accepted and used as a viable therapeutic option perhaps partly due to the increase in evidence supporting the positive effects of yoga on patient outcomes\, function and quality of life in many populations with persistent pain and pain associated conditions. \nThis presentation will highlight yoga therapy and its value in comprehensive pain management including how it can serve to potentially fill some of the gaps we currently face in pain care. The presentation will point to the research supporting yoga in pain care and offer clinical pearls that can be immediately integrated into practice. \nAfter this presentation\, you will: \n\nGain an introductory understanding of yoga therapy and how it is differentiated from modern postural yoga.\nLearn how yoga therapy can contribute to evidence-informed comprehensive pain management and fill a variety of gaps.\nDiscover where to learn more and gain insight on how to refer your patients to an appropriate\, safe and chronic pain-informed yoga practice.\nLearn an accessible and practical technique and guidelines that can be immediately integrated into the clinic setting.\n\n  \nTo sign up for Shelly’s session and the entire Pain Society of Alberta Online Conference FOR FREE\, CLICK HERE. \n

SUMMARY:Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Book Club Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Chapter 12: Pain\, Addiction and Yoga \nPresenter: Tracey Sondik \nThis webinar explores addiction and its intersection with pain. This is particularly important in the climate of the opioid crisis and the increased public awareness on addiction and the movement towards identifying viable and effective nonpharmacological interventions for pain. \nWe 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 for Chapter 12:\n\nDiscover how yoga philosophy provides a framework for both understanding the root causes for pain and addiction.\nExplore the growing body of research supporting yoga and other mindfulness- based interventions as important complementary mind/body adjunctive approaches for the treatment of addiction.\nExplore a new integrative paradigm for addiction recovery that combines traditional yoga philosophy and practices (asana\, pranayama\, meditation) and western psychological treatments.\nPractice specific asana\, pranayama\, and meditation practices that can be utilized as part of an integrative approach to addiction recovery.\n\nWhat you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults. \nTo register for just for Chapter 12 with Tracey Sondik (facilitated by Shelly Prosko\, Marlysa Sullivan and Neil Pearson) CLICK HERE \n\nThis webinar is part of a larger webinar series.

SUMMARY:Online course: Yoga Therapy in Pain Care
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. \n \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 live\, online and is part of Ajna Yoga Therapy Center’s Advanced Yoga Therapy program. This module will also be open to those yoga professionals or health professionals who are not part of the Yoga Therapy program\, but would like to take the module for their own learning and continuing education. \nIt is 19 hours total:  10 hours of live online instruction with Shelly with an additional 9 hours of pre-recorded videos for students to watch. \nSchedule for the live\, online sessions: \nFri Oct 2:  5-8pm PST \nSat Oct 3: 9-12:30pm PST \nSun Oct 4: 9-12:30pm PST \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nFor more details on Ajna Yoga Therapy Center’s full schedule of modules for their Advanced Yoga Therapy program click HERE \n

SUMMARY:Practitioner Self-Care During Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:unsplash Simon Migaj \nPractitioner Self-Care During Challenging Times \nWe have heard the saying ‘put your own oxygen mask on first before helping another’ and we know that self-care is an important part of health and well-being for all\, including for healthcare practitioners. During times of difficulty and uncertainty\, self-care may be even more essential to help us navigate a sustainable path forward. \nWhat does self-care look like for you? Do you have the skills and tools you need to cultivate it? \nSelf-care is a popular term these days and perhaps the meaning has been watered-down and misinterpreted. When self-care becomes another item on your list of things ‘to do’ or an added pressure or expectation in an unrelenting pursuit of better health\, it can become the antithesis of self-care and we might be missing the whole point of it. \nAs a physiotherapist\, yoga therapist and continuing education provider who teaches on the topic of integrating yoga principles and practices into healthcare and rehab\, I offer tips and practices for healthcare providers on how to cultivate practitioner self-care\, which I present as an ongoing dynamic process of skills that involves awareness\, attention\, self-reflection\, self-compassion\, insight\, discernment\, courage and action. Self-care and self-compassion are not selfish nor soft skills – they are life skills that help us have the inner resources available to care for and serve others in a sustainable way. \nCompassion and self-compassion are shown to be associated with positive health effects such as reduced symptoms of anxiety\, depression\, less ruminating thoughts\, less fear of failure\, and increased emotional resiliency\, stress management and adaptive coping strategies during challenging times. \nIn this online webinar I offer through Embodia Academy\, learn how we can cultivate self-care and compassion in our daily lives\, amidst uncertainty and adversity\, and help carve a healthy path forward that may be sustained beyond tumultuous times. \nPlease consider supporting the value of this offering by joining me and choosing from the sliding scale that best suits your needs at this moment. \nThis webinar will be recorded and will also be available for purchase after the event. \nPractitioner Self-Care During Challenging Times. \nDetails and to register HERE.
