Yoga Therapy Foundations: Working with Chronic Pain & Injuries
(12 hours CEU)
November 18 to 20, Yangon Yoga House, Yangon
“What are all these blockages in the body? Where do they come from?
It’s the mind watching itself.” ~ Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Founder of Body Mind Centering
A 2-day deep dive into to exploring the matrix of our mind-body to understand our holding and blockages through functional and embodied anatomy. Working with movement, breath inquiries, and bodywork as tools for transformation and healing. We will tap into classical yogic philosophies and how it relates to our physiology and nervous system. Alignment is a process of constant balancing and embracing change. We will cultivate a mindful and practical dialogue in dealing with pain, injuries, anxiety & stress.
Through an inquiry-based approach, Daphne will guide you into uncovering your very own healing through our physical and subtle mind-body maps. Learn mindfulness, self-care and hands-on techniques in supporting yourself and others.
