An overview of relevant anatomy and pathology
Seven photographic Yoga sequences- remedially applied
A Manual for Meditation and Mindfulness practice and teaching

Here are is a sample sequence from the manual.

An integrated approach to Yoga

We learn to work with pain, stress and adversity in our own experience and others'. Through seven carefully constructed sequences we analyse and look at the application of this remedial or therapeutic yoga to work with common problems and conditions. We explore low back and upper back, hips and shoulders, knees and neck issues. This enables you to work safely, help your students rebuild strength and stability in their bodies as well as design more intelligent classes.

How to apply Mindfulness To Yoga

Through contemporary and traditional Mindfulness practices you learn to employ Mindfulness in yoga. Though distinct spiritual lineages, Yoga and Mindfulness form a powerful synthesis in working directly with our experience.

The skills we acquire from meditation transform our yoga. We learn how to teach and communicate four key practices:-

How to set up meditation posture
Body Scan
Mindfulness of Breathing
Loving-kindness (Metta bhavana) practice

Background to Mindfulness yoga

Our Continued Professional Development (CPD) is based around carefully constructed sequences following tried and tested approaches to working with specific musculo-skeletal issues. The Mindfulness component draws from the Satipatthana (Mindfulness) teachings. During the course, we delve deeply, principally emphasising a pragmatic experiential approach.

Sadhita and Sudaka's comprehensive training course solidified my confidence in teaching Dharmic yoga. Their seamless weaving of yoga asana and mindfulness practice allow me access a depth of integrity when communicating the Buddha's teaching. I am grateful tothem for doing this pioneering work and enabling me to transmit the teachings of mindfulness and kindness through yoga. Andrea Campbell, Norwich, U.K.

A really inspiring course which explores remedial yoga, mindfulness, Buddhist principles and meditation in a perfect balance. It deepened my knowledge and understanding of yoga spiritually, personally and practically. Would highly recommend. Jo Newman, Birmingham, U.K.
