This package includes the following:
  • Adaptive Yoga ebook
  • Online continuing education exam

The massive growth in the popularity of yoga as a form of exercise and as a method of maintaining whole-body wellness has led to thousands of published research studies confirming what yoga practitioners already know: Yoga relieves stress, improves mental and emotional health, enhances sleep, relieves low back pain and neck pain, promotes weight loss, and even enables smoking cessation. Further study has proven that yoga helps individuals with disabilities improve their functional activities of daily living, recover from injuries, gain mobility, experience less pain, and manage anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Adaptive Yoga takes these studies out of the research labs and onto the yoga mat to empower individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions to practice yoga effectively and safely. If you work with these special populations as a yoga teacher or rehabilitative therapist, you will find guidance and recommended poses for some of the most common conditions and disabilities, including these:
  • Low back pain
  • Hip, knee, and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Stroke
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Lower limb amputation
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Multiple sclerosis

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.

Learning Objectives 
  • Explain the benefits of yoga for people with disabilities and chronic conditions.
  • Describe the power of using breathing and mindfulness techniques within an adaptive yoga practice.
  • Select poses to perform targeted muscle strengthening or stretching for various disabilities and chronic conditions.
  • Choose appropriate poses for individuals based on their disabilities or chronic conditions.
