Courses:
Anatomy of Yoga
For Yoga Teachers, Health-Care
Practitioners,
Teacher Trainers
The growing recognition of the health
benefits of Yoga has fueled a boom in the
numbers of people coming to classes to
enhance their health and Well-being. Many
students take Yoga classes to help
themselves heal conditions that in the past
would have sent them to a doctor. It is
important for Yoga teachers to be aware of
the structure and function of the body, in
health and in dis-ease, in order to provide
their services safely to their students.
This course will enhance participants'
knowledge of the inner
workings of the human body, with particular
attention to joint structure and function,
providing ways to enhance the safety of
their teaching. Anatomical variations will
be discussed as an opening to the range of
possibilities in Yoga postures.
Arturo translates the scientific knowledge
of the body into a usable and interesting
format that will appeal to those who may not
feel comfortable in a traditional Western
anatomy course. He offers "scientific"
affirmations for why Yoga works so well.
 Touching the Body, Feeling the Heart,
Healing the Soul
This course provide participants with tools
and awareness for a safe space for touch.
This course will address the subtleties of
hands on work within the
context of teaching yoga.
Therapeutic Yoga with Cheri Clampett and
Arturo Peal
The Therapeutic Yoga Training Program began
in 1998 as a continuing education course to
teach physical therapists, registered
nurses, certified yoga teachers, and other
health care professionals how to integrate
therapeutic yoga into their repertoire of
healing techniques.
Therapeutic Yoga, as it is taught in this
program, is a carefully
designed collection of restorative yoga,
gentle yoga, breath work, guided
meditation, and hands-on healing. The
modalities used here are those from the yoga
tradition the founders have determined to be
most useful in helping those recovering from
injury or illness.
In place for over six years, the program has
received incredible
support from the nursing, physical therapy,
and yoga communities. Our graduates
have applied the knowledge gained at the
trainings to a wide array of
hospital settings, clinics, and private
practice.
