Will Yoga help me to recover from past injuries?
Q: I have past injuries I am currently working with. Will Yoga help me to recover?
A: Yes, at the yoga therapy level. However, the open yoga class is not a group therapeutic class even though Yoga Awareness teachers are being trained with this awareness. Therefore, I often advise new students to work privately with me first if they have injury or uncertainty before I send them to an open yoga class. This establishes a strong foundation for teacher and student relationship. From here it becomes clear what the next best step is for the student. It could be attending group yoga class or which wellness program is appropriate for the student's recovery.
