Teaching Students with Back Pain

Taught by Marcia Miller, IAYT Certified Yoga Therapist, ERYT-500 Yoga Teacher

Studies show that over 80% of Americans will suffer significant back pain in their lives. And people with back pain say Yoga helps them more than any other single modality including surgery and medical care. This workshop will help yoga teachers learn 

  • relevant anatomy of the spine and hips

  • principles and techniques of yoga therapy that help your students with back pain

  • a basic series of poses that are great for beginners with (or without) back pain.

  • several bonus poses to offer anytime someone is in back pain,

  • several relaxation setups to help students be comfortable in savasana since relaxation is so critical to back pain relief.


This class will be a mixture of lecture, discussion, and practice (including supporting each other), and you will leave with practical knowledge you can utilize right away.

Yin vs. Restorative - the Ultimate ZEN Faceoff

Can Yin be restorative? Is Restorative also Yin? What in the heck is Yang?

In this training we will dive into the differences and similarities of these two practices, learn about the connective tissue of the body and how these practices support a healthy nervous system. There will be learning and discussion and lots of practice time mixed in.

The class will conclude with a full 90 minute session showing Yin vs Restorative ideas for several popular poses.

This class is for teachers and students curious about learning more about these two styles of Yoga.

As a teacher, you will:

  • Gain skills to practice both forms of Yoga and learn helpful hints on prop usage and modifications

  • Be able to add poses into a Yang style class or teach a full class of one or both styles

  • Earn 5 Yoga Alliance CEU’s

  • Receive a detailed guidebook to support and continue your teaching journey
