The Therapeutic Wisdom of Yoga: Rewriting the Story of Our Health and Growth with Doug Keller
A 30 hour training-intensive for yoga teachers and inquiring students. This training can be done as a whole, the first two days or the last 3 days.
We’ll begin with the neck and shoulders, focusing on upper body and spinal health, with an additional focus on working with scoliosis — including both principles for targeted work with scoliosis, as well as insights into how these principles are useful for everyone, since asymmetries that lead to muscular and joint problems are nearly always present, whether one has a scoliosis or not. This will add new dimensions to practice, including the pairing of intentional breathing to realignment actions in asana.
The principles introduced regarding the neck and shoulders will be applied specifically in the first two days to the safe practice of inversions: preparations for inversions, safe alignment and action as well as alternative approaches, and contraindications — recognizing when and how students may be harmed through the practice of inversions, and what to do instead.
From there we will expand into a treatment of the health of the whole body, and in particular the low back, sacrum, hips, knees and feet. The central focus will be on ‘movement impairment syndromes’ - patterns of movement closely connected to pain problems as well as joint and muscle injury.
This approach to pain problems is especially suited to yoga, and will provide teachers and practitioners with a vital toolbox for recognizing and assessing these patterns, and designing an approach through specifically targeted asana practice and remedial exercises aimed at changing them for the better.
This year the dimension of the ‘Vayus’ will be added as well. These will be introduced in the two day immersion, and in this five-day training will be carried forward in the context of therapeutically beneficial asana practice, with practical toning exercises for the ‘core’ that stabilize the spine and sacrum while liberating the diaphragm for the breath. This practical work is related to the concepts contained in ‘The Fascial Web’ by Schultz and Feitis, as well as ideas developed by Orit Sen-Gupta in ‘Vayu’s Gate.’
Each day will begin with a practice, which will give participants a chance to experience how the principles being covered might be introduced simply in the class setting of an asana practice. And each day will end with some work with the Vayus, pranayama and Yoga Nidra — including discussion of the principles behind each practice, and some historical background from hatha yoga texts.
The training in the afternoon will include some hands-on experience both in learning how to recognize postural and movement patterns for working with students or clients more individually — and for learning to make effective adjustments.
All in all, the training will be an exploration into the many dimensions of wisdom that the ever-evolving practice of hatha yoga has to offer to us as body, mind and spirit work to maintain health and grow in heart in the face of the many challenges — including pain, injury and dysfunction — that life throws at us.
