Course Details

Therapeutic Yoga for Flexibility goes beyond simple stretching to address the complex factors that limit mobility.

Rather than forcing the body into uncomfortable positions, this course teaches you to work intelligently with your own unique anatomy. You'll learn to identify specific areas of restriction and apply the most effective techniques to create lasting changes in your body's range of motion. Special attention is given to common problem areas such as hamstrings, hips, shoulders, and spine.
