Yoga for Common Aches and Pain Workshop

Many people experience some form of chronic pain or tension in their bodies due to the stress factors brought about by modern sedentary lifestyle, poor postural habits or improper physical training.

Yoga can play a useful role in the management of such common musculoskeletal complaints, if the tools and principles of yoga practice are intelligently applied. Anyone who intends to take up yoga as a therapeutic intervention should be equipped with at least a basic understanding of their problem(s) and how yoga can help provide long term relief. More importantly, every student should be aware of how an inappropriate yoga practice can worsen or aggravate their condition.
