Live Session: Injuries & Ailments in Asana

Aug 26, 2025

Why this session matters to me… 
 
Over the years, I’ve had students come to class in quiet pain and discomfort. Hips that ache, knees that crunch, backs that are seized up in various ways. They rarely mention it unless asked directly. And the thing is, most people don’t realise they can adapt yoga to support their condition - they just try to keep up and push through. 

This session is about becoming the kind of teacher who sees beyond the surface, understands the body (and its many variations from the norm), and knows how to respond with care and confidence.

Adv. YTT Live Session: Injuries & Ailments in Yoga 

Back pain, knee issues, shoulder injuries, high blood pressure, diabetes, menopause symptoms... Many students come to yoga seeking relief, but not every teacher feels equipped to safely support them. 

In this live session, we’ll explore injuries and health conditions that commonly show up in general group classes and how to work with them with care and confidence. You’ll learn to understand the anatomy and physiology behind each issue, how it impacts daily life, and how to adapt your teaching without overstepping your scope. 

We’ll cover: 

  • Back pain, scoliosis & hyper mobility 
  • Knee and hip dysfunction 
  • Shoulder injuries 
  • High blood pressure, heart disease & diabetes 
  • Women’s health (PCOS, endometriosis, menopause) 

You’ll also learn when to refer out, how to offer options and modifications, and how yoga can support ongoing management and healing. 

Perfect for yoga teachers who want to offer safe, inclusive classes.
