About this workshop
This is a practical workshop that will focus on how to teach familiar yoga poses safely to students with back pain, within a yoga class setting.
Based on functional anatomy principles, you will explore ways to more easily enable your students to access a yoga practice safely, and ways to teach them how to maximise the therapeutic aspects of a yoga practice to support their healing process.
It will be an intensive interactive workshop, including yoga asana practice and discussion.
You will leave with ideas and a strategy to work effectively and confidently with students with back pain, without interrupting the flow of the class for the other students.
This is an interactive practical workshop where we will explore the poses you know and teach. You will have a chance to ask questions based on your own teaching experience in class working with individuals with back pain.
We will look specifically at how to adapt yoga practices in order to:
(a) keep students safe in their practice
(b) enhance (and not delay) the healing process
You will explore how to refine language use and teaching points to better support these students both in class, and when they get home.
You will explore aspects of lesson planning and class management that give you a stress-free way of managing students with pain into your classes.

Andrea Newman
Senior tutor
Andrea says: "I see myself as a sensitive and curious teacher and geeky introvert! I love creating and holding a space for people to come into to explore themselves through yoga. I find it a joy and a privilege to see people's courage and determination as they face challenges in life, to learn, heal and evolve." Andrea has been teaching yoga since 1994 and training yoga teachers with the British Wheel of Yoga since 2003. As a Certified Advanced Rolfer with a degree in biochemistry, Andrea continues to study anatomy, spirituality and the body-mind connection. She brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to her teaching and is committed to providing opportunities for yoga teachers and students to learn and grow.
