Yoga for MySelf: Yoga for MS Workshop
Bloomington, Indiana
October 21, 2012

Knowledge is a step... understanding is many steps taken to form a path. If you are a yoga therapist or yoga instructor who has worked with Multiple Sclerosis and would like to learn more, or are tentative about working with those with MS, consider a full day workshop (8CEs), two day basic training (16 CEs) or three day intensive training (21CEs) in Yoga for MySelf: Yoga for MS. Workshop and training CEs qualify for Yoga Alliance and NCBTMB continuing education requirements.

Yoga for MySelf: Yoga for MS trainings and workshops take place at our location in Bloomington, Indiana or are hosted/sponsored by a studio, clinic or conference. Students who express a sincere interest in continuing their studies may study privately with the instructor following a workshop or training. Please contact us for further information.

Yoga for MySelf: Yoga for MS trainings, intensives, workshops encompass the following:

• Adaptive and Modified Hatha Yoga (sitting, standing, floor, chair, bed)
• Balancing of muscle groups
• Exercises to increase proprioception, balance, proper posture
• Learning to recognize forms of stress and tension in the MS body
• Providing simple, safe yoga postures and exercises to implement daily, at home or work
• Focus on client confidence and body-awareness (sitting, rising, stride/gait, stairs etc.)
• Using the breath properly to decrease fatigue and chronic pain
• Learning to perceive the MS client as a person, not a disease!

There are many resources in a client's home, clinical setting, or their workplace that can be used to facilitate a gentle - albeit modified - yoga practice. Our training encourages the student to think 'outside the box', using few if any props and instead relying upon their knowledge of yoga and under-standing of the person they are helping.

The body is a whole, the sum of its parts... and more. We work with a human being, not a body. Our approach is mindful of the very important relationship between practitioner and client. We must cultivate and practice patience, compassion and understanding.
