Bushwhacking New Pathways; Therapeutic Considerations for the MS Population

Bushwhacking New Pathways; Therapeutic Considerations for the MS Population
This course includes
The instructors
While we all need to explore the realm of the new to keep our body and mind fresh, those with progressive neurological conditions have no option but to build new pathways since the older roads have become blocked. For those with MS, the fuzz may hamper ambulation, cognitive processing, memory, and emotional regulation. Working adaptively with yoga to spark fresh and unusual ways of linking movement, mind, and breath, without fatiguing the student is nuanced work.
In this course, Robin will share her extensive experience building a program for people with MS.
You will learn these key elements:
- Ways to sequence that encourage cognitive processing
- How to build kinetic chains that help students re-member parts that have been ‘off-line’
- The importance of core engagement to maintain stability
- Using the breath to decrease inflammation and increase oxygenation to the brain
- Alternation of focus to prevent fatigue and over-exertion.
**This session was recorded at the Montreal International Symposium on Therapeutic Yoga (MISTY) in March of 2019
