Joshi, M.A. M.Phil., E-RYT 500, YACEP, C-IAYT and Manju Joshi, M.A., E-RYT 500, YACEP, C-IAYT, MCO-Osteo, HHC will present a weekly online series on “Yoga to Relieve Respiratory Ailments.” The series runs Wednesdays: July 7, 14, 21, and 28. For everyone, including Yoga teachers and health professionals
Learn simple, authentic, and effective yogic practices to relieve respiratory ailments, including allergies, asthma, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). Not only can these practices reduce suffering, but also potentially save lives. In light of the recent Covid pandemic, we especially recognize the importance of healthy respiratory function. The teachings presented in this workshop can boost the immune system, improve overall respiratory health, and prevent and reverse many chronic diseases.
This online workshop is designed for Yoga therapists, Yoga teachers, and healthcare professionals and focuses on the importance of therapeutic practice of specific pranayamas (breath practices), bandhas (energy locks), mudras (energy seals), and mantras (sacred sounds) to address respiratory ailments. Use the strategies and skills learned in this course to design, implement, and evaluate individualized Yoga and holistic therapy protocols for various conditions.
The workshop includes lectures, assessment of one’s breathing capacity, and practices to improve the same. We will work in small groups with an opportunity to measure and practice.
