2020 Teaching Schedule
My sabbatical from teaching ends next spring. Next year's Yoga As Medicine (YAM) trainings include five-day intensive YAM Level 1 Seminars in both the US and the UK (some locations include a weekend-only option). Also back by popular request, the Level 2 YAM course, Yoga Therapy for the Nervous System, will be offered in Stockholm, London and the Washington, DC area. In addition, my course in "holistic yoga anatomy" called Reimagining Yoga Anatomy: The Emerging Science of Biotensegrity, Myofascia and Breath-Based Movement is coming to Burlington, VT in April. Past attendees report that this training dramatically changed how they practice and how they teach yoga (for the better!). Below are new videos describing each of these courses in detail so you can see if one or more might be a good fit for you! |

My 2019 update of “Health Conditions Helped by Yoga (as Shown in Scientific Studies)” was released recently. The PDF contains over 40 pages of references, listing the scientific studies by condition. Embedded hyperlinks will take you to the study's abstract, or if available, to a free, full-text version of the study. For printable posters (including A4 versions), click here.
I compile this bibliography of research as a service to the yoga world and hereby give permission to copy this PDF, print it out, distribute it to others and share it on social media.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy—or as we call it Yoga As Medicine— is the selective use of various yoga tools — such as poses, breathing techniques, relaxation exercises and meditation, as well as dietary and lifestyle advice — to help people with virtually any health condition, physical or psychological. Because people's health and fitness vary, we often modify poses or use props to make the practices safe and effective. In Yoga As Medicine, we perform detailed holistic assessments of each client—evaluating body, mind, spirit and environment—and then craft a personalized yoga program. And that's precisely what we teach in our seminars and teacher trainings. Yoga therapy can be used by itself or as an adjunct to any conventional or alternative medical treatment. |

In conjunction with an online course on Yoga As Medicine on Yoga U, I recorded this video. It's over 40 minutes long, and is a good introduction to my overall approach to yoga therapy, my ideas about what yoga teachers and therapists should — and shouldn't — be doing with students with medical conditions, integrating yoga into modern medical care, etc. I had a lot of fun recording this interview and hope you enjoy it!
