Review of major joints, joint classification, and muscle groups. Discussion of the major injuries and issues we encounter, possible causes of those injuries/issues, postures contraindicated for those injuries, and how to offer modified postures for injured students within the context of a group vinyasa class without having to disrupt the flow of the class for the student. We will also learn to offer postures commonly indicated to help particular conditions, as well as creating a foundational understanding that yoga instructors are not physicians and should never indicate to students that they have a level of knowledge that they do not.

Many of us first studied the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali during our original teacher training. That first time through can be a bit overwhelming and more than a little confusing. However, one of the most amazing things about the Sūtras is that we learn a bit more in each subsequent study.In this in-depth examination, we will approach the Sūtras through more experienced eyes. This session will include extensive discussion that, hopefully, will allow a more nuanced reading of Patañjali's work, helping to find a more relevant application to the life we live today.
