Join Lori Nadle and Marion Robinson in a teacher training workshop designed to explore Yoga asana, pranayama and meditative practices which restore balance to populations experiencing inflammation in the joints (arthritis). Arthritis may arise as a result of trauma, bacterial and viral infections and/or the process of aging. This workshop will address the basic anatomical and physiological changes that are prime indicators of the issues and the yoga techniques which offer therapeutic benefit for the general health and well-being of the Arthritis population. The workshop is geared towards Yoga teachers who have completed or are in the process of completing a minimum 200-hour training, as well as students who would like to deepen their Yoga practice.

The workshop includes three Master Classes taught by Lori and assisted by Marion, each with the therapeutic essentials to target arthritis. Each class will address beneficial techniques for mobilizing and strengthening the joints within three very different protocols. The Workshop will give participants the opportunity to use the basic underlying therapeutic premise of each pose to create other viable versions with modifications suited to differing levels of students.
