Trying to translate some TED talks – fascinating but draining at the same time – is this a brain exercise for brain fitness? This work is going to exhaust my brain power besides all this sitting and driving so … need some yoga therapy for regeneration. Some has asked what is Yoga Therapy – well, all yoga is that even though Yoga Alliance no longer allows the use of that very word because it sounds too medical – so there’s IAYT and these are some titles that may help you see what it’s about:
Yoga for Scoliosis – Have completed Part 1 but … there’s Part 2 … it’s a lot. Elise Browning Miller is wealth of knowledge and a masterful teacher.
Yoga for Back Health – for regular you and me – you can be very fit and still have this issue caused by any number of reasons.
Yoga for Heart Health – HRV
Yoga for Immunity Boost
Yoga for Digestion
Yoga for Athletes – and this can further go into such things as Yoga for Cyclists; Yoga for Rowers; Yoga for golfers; Yoga for – name of sport 🙂
Yoga for Recovery – 12 Steps-like
Yoga for Depression & Anxiety
Yoga for Emotional Balance – Bo Forbes, PhD/YT
Yoga for Grief Relief
Yoga for Veterans – My therapist cohort specializes in this – Perry !
Yoga for Cancer Care & Caretakers
Yoga for Osteoporosis (Prevention/Management) – my mother could not drink milk and eat dairy or just pop calcium with vitamin D – so other methods besides calcium rich diet …any weight bearing exercise helps BUT yoga is great for its mindfulness component.
and my favorite might be
- Yoga for Women’s Health – through all cycles:)
- Yoga for Stress Management – Melatonin for Insomnia? Why? There’s no need.
- Yoga for Weight Control – To reduce, to regain or to manage – for that balanced approach
So if one wonders why it’s taking so long for me to get certified in this particular field, it might be that there’s so much, this is why. There’s so so so much to learn… The journey has taken 2 years so far … & to that reinforcement idea – one should always consult MD’s or PT’s, CD’s after yoga’s body awareness brings one to that place.
Above photos: Text book by Elise Miller – you can get on Amazon like everything else – very helpful; photo of one of Niroga teachers, Saraswathi Devi showing an assist – which could in turn cause back problems for the yoga teacher/therapists … so the right way as to care for others means we know self-care first-hand. Saraswathi is another one of those teachers who epitomizes graceful and purposeful aging – with the most beautiful resonant voice. A much needed sense of humor to boot.
