30 Aug The questions that inform Yoga for Pain
When I speak about Yoga for Pain it is generally to explain the science, or the need. During this year’s Social Impact Festival I got to share a perspective that is probably more interesting: Yoga for Pain’s informing question.
This 10-minute podcast walks you through the time from 2010 when Yoga for Pain was a seed of an idea, to the formation of Yoga for Pain Care Australia as a vehicle for reaching more people, enduringly. The recording comes from a workshop I assisted Dr Will Varey with, called “4 Orientations to Social Benefit”.
I explain:
- What I observed in yoga and pain management fields at that time
- The question I asked in order to make Yoga for Pain of service to more people
- Why we had to do better than help people manage pain
- How apithology’s 4 orientations (see source article below) inform a field of practice that could have enduring value
The reference for the source paper is Varey, W. (2008) Aspects of Apithology: Orientations in the Four Potentials of Health. Aspects of Apithology: The Journal of Apithological Practice. 1(2), 1-7. Read the abstract here.
