Myofascial Yoga:
Myofascial Yoga for Pelvic Health
Take as Module 6 of the 200-hour Myofascial Yoga Teacher Training program, as a workshop for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits, or just to learn more about adding myofascial yoga into your practice.
This is quite possibly the most exciting module in the Myofascial Yoga Teacher Training program!
The pelvis is literally the central pivot point of our body, which means that a problem in pelvic alignment has maximum potential for detrimental compensation patterns, heading outward in either direction.
John F. Barnes makes a vital observation:
“It has been estimated that each heel strike is the equivalent force of a car hitting a brick wall at 55 miles per hour. Now imagine the imbalance in these forces that occurs with a long leg and a short leg. With each step, this micro-trauma forces the myofascial system, the body’s shock absorber, to compensate and tighten.”
In this weekend intensive we will cover how to check for misalignment in the pelvis, and how that impacts our knees, ankles, and overall well-being. We will also go over which Myofascial Yoga poses can be used to correct a misaligned pelvis.
Students will learn how to track for correct pelvic alignment in core yoga poses as well as how to notice any misalignment. Discussion will follow on how to adjust students in yoga postures safely and with the intention of balancing the pelvis
This workshop can be used toward the 200-hour Myofascial Yoga teacher training or as continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance.
Topics covered include:
Safe and effective core-stabilizing exercises
Corrective yoga poses for healthy pelvic alignment
Biomechanics of hips, SI-joints, and core stabilization
Common lifestyle habits that affect the pelvis, and how to correct them
How pelvic misalignment affects the ankles, knees, hips, spine, and even the jaw
How to use the Myofascial treatment balls and yoga wedges to balance the pelvis
