Gain Evidence-Based Insight

As a yoga teacher, you’re already working with students affected by osteoporosis, arthritis, or lower back pain, whether you know it or not. These conditions are common, complex, and often misunderstood. Conflicting information can leave even experienced teachers feeling uncertain: Is yoga safe? Can it help? What does the research actually say? 

This three-part online series offers clarity, practical tools, and confidence. Grounded in contemporary science and a compassionate, inclusive teaching lens, each workshop focuses on a single condition and includes a blend of anatomy, current guidelines, research highlights, and teaching tips.

Each workshop will explore:

• Clear, current understanding of the condition (including how it’s diagnosed and treated)
• Physical activity guidelines and how yoga fits in
• Myths and misconceptions (such as “Can yoga reverse bone loss?” or “Do tight hamstrings cause back pain?”)
• Relevant research and how to interpret it critically
• Practical, actionable tips for adapting yoga classes with safety and confidence
• Q&A and discussion

Whether you’re seeking to better support your students, refine your teaching language, or deepen your understanding of the body, this online series will equip you to teach with greater clarity, care, and credibility.
