In the US, 25% of adults have arthritis.
By 2040, 78 million U.S. adults will have arthritis.
Arthritis costs the US $303 billion annually.
Here’s What You’ll Learn
In this four-hour webinar consisting of two sessions, the focus will be on the ways that yoga can alter the course of arthritis. A hallmark of all arthritis is limitation of range of motion. But if yoga does anything, it enables movement. Additionally, yoga’s emphasis on the breath, mindfulness, and philosophy, transform the associated symptoms of pain, limited mindset, and overwhelm. Yoga and arthritis were made for each other. The two sessions will contend with three issues:
1. Prevention – How can we nip it before it starts to bud?
2. Secondary Prevention – minimizing arthritis to avoid inactivity, osteosarcopenia, or depression.
3. Treatment – relieving pain, keeping or expanding range of motion and slowing, stopping or even reversing its otherwise inexorable progression.
Recordings of the workshop will be available!
