Course: Yoga Therapy for Stress and Pain with Stephani Sutherland PhD – 4.0 Hrs

$79.00

Chronic pain affects 100 million Americans, some of whom are severely disabled. Pain has been a driving force in our epidemic of opioid overuse and abuse. Experts agree that doctors and healthcare workers must become better educated about what pain is: a complex, whole-brain experience that profoundly affects people’s lives. Today, research has shown that chronic pain can benefit from treatment with a whole host of approaches other than opioids–including yoga. Learn more about the physiological processes that underlie chronic pain, and how to work with clients with chronic pain using the tools of yoga. We’ll also consider stress, which affects us all, and how reducing stress can shift autonomic nervous system activity and lessen pain.
