YOGA INJURY PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT

METTA YOGA | SAN RAFAEL, CA

IN-PERON OR ONLINE

SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2025

1:30pm - 3:30pm

Most yoga injuries are due to common injury prone alignment cues, repetitive stress, going too far with range of motion, forceful hands-on adjustments and how a class is sequenced. “One study found that from 2001 to 2014 yoga related injuries doubled for people between ages 45 and 65 - and increased eightfold for those 65 and older.

This doesn’t mean an asana practice is unhealthy and we should ‘throw the baby out with the bath water”. We get injuries in all kinds of healthy physical modalities such skiing, running, soccer, football, etc. The pluses far out way the cons. It does mean we should move and teach in a wise, thoughtful manner.

During this workshop, you will move through a well-rounded practice focused on refining your alignment especially with injury prone postures, and look at how to work with existing aliments. It’s important to move in a way that minimizes potential injuries and maximizes the longevity of your asana practice. 

Learn how to support your body wisely—so you can practice for years to come!

**This workshop counts toward CEUs.
