Shoulders and elbows: Yoga Therapy with Gulnaaz

April 26 & 27
8:00–9:30 AM CT

“Unity among teachers is the foundation for the growth of yoga, as each teacher strengthens and refines the other.”
— B.K.S. Iyengar

Do you suffer from shoulder or elbow pain, stiffness, or old injuries that just won’t go away? Whether you’re dealing with discomfort in your daily life or looking to deepen your understanding of shoulder and elbow care through yoga, this 2-day immersive program is designed to bring relief, education, and a deeper connection to your body.

Led by Gulnaaz Dashti, a Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher based in Pune, India, this workshop is your opportunity to learn from one of the most highly regarded teachers in the Iyengar tradition. Gulnaaz will guide participants through therapeutic approaches to caring for the shoulders and elbows, combining precise alignment, supported postures, and practical tips that can be incorporated into your daily routine.

Workshop Format

While Gulnaaz will be joining live via Zoom, you have two options for participation:

Online Participation - For those attending online, it's recommended to have someone available to assist you during the session. If this isn’t possible, don’t worry—you’ll still gain incredible insights into shoulder & elbow care, as the sessions will emphasize educational principles. Think of it as a masterclass on how to heal and maintain healthy knees through yoga therapy.

In-Studio Participation - If you’re able to join us in person, you’ll benefit from hands-on guidance provided by certified Iyengar Yoga teachers. They’ll assist you in real-time, helping you adapt the poses to suit your body’s needs and maximize the therapeutic effects of each practice.

What You’ll Learn:

• Relief Techniques: Practical postures and sequences to relieve shoulder & elbow pain, stiffness, and discomfort.

• Alignment Principles: Explore how proper alignment in yoga postures protects the shoulders and elbows and promotes long-term joint health.

• Strength and Stability: Build strength in the supporting muscles around the shoulder and elbows to reduce strain on the joint.

• Adaptation for Injuries: Discover how to modify poses if you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain.

This is more than a yoga class—it's an opportunity to invest in your well-being with tools you can carry for a lifetime.
