Pre-Requisite: Enrolled in Step 1/300-hour with SCHYS or beyond

This class will cover common health concerns of a chronic nature. Topics include

• Long-term covid

• chronic pain (hip, lower back, shoulder, or other body area),

• Chronic pain that lead to substance issues (benzo and opiods)

• Autoimmune issues (Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Rheumatoid arthritis,, Lupus, POTS, etc.)

• Residual pain from scar tissue post surgery

After a brief introduction of the topic, we’ll discuss cases of clients who may have had the issue and what tools of yoga therapy were used to help. The vagus nerve is often involved in chronic issues, therefore it would be helpful if students have had the vagus nerve classes prior to this class, although it is not a pre-requisite.
