Anatomy and Asana Update by Susi Hately Aldous

Hi Yogi Anatomist,

This weekend I was reading a Time Magazine article about yoga and the rising rates of injury. If you are keen to be a teacher who understands movement and biomechanics in a way that improves body balance and reduces the rate of injury, check out some of the trainings and teleclasses listed below. You will learn many things that you can apply to your practice as a teacher or student.

I have had a number of requests for 4 day trainings. If you are interested, I have listed the contact info for the 2 trainings occurring in April 2008. One has more of a "yoga therapy" theme, and the other has more of a "regular class" theme. Both will give you the necessary class time pre-requisites for the 4 Days of Yoga Therapy trainings. Scroll down for more.

Have a great day,

Susi

What Lorrie Maffey, PT is saying:

"During a yoga session, Susi has a remarkable ability to "see" where movement and energy is flowing through a person. She can also "see" where this is not happening and with encouraging words, imagery and movement suggestions she can help one restore flow through these regions. Her teachings and writings are a valuable tool to assist others in developing this skill. I have enjoyed and gained much from all of our "late night brain storming sessions" and our mutual clients have always benefited from our combined efforts to assist with optimizing their own ease of flow."

WORKSHOPS

Anatomy and Asana: Therapeutic Yoga for the Shoulders and Hips
with Susi Hately Aldous

Ever since I began teaching yoga, the two most common physical limitations I have seen are in the shoulders and hips. Even for people with back, neck, or knee pain - if they are able to improve the functioning of their shoulders and hips, their back or neck pain becomes much more manageable or even resolved.

In this workshop you will learn the biomechanics of the shoulders and hips, and how they impact each other; how they influence energy flow through the spine, and affect transfer of force and load from the upper body to the lower body and lower body to upper body. You'll learn therapeutic yoga asanas that improve the functioning of the shoulders and hips and improve the balance in and between your neck, mid back, lower back. The result is less pain, less strain, and more freedom, stability and ease.

This workshop will be based off of my new book and DVD: Therapeutic Yoga for the Shoulders and Hips due out this fall.
