Yoga for Pain helps those with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and persistent pain develop a more positive relationship with their body and themselves, through gentle movement, techniques to calm the nervous system and guided reflection.
We are running a Yoga for Pain 1 introductory workshop in Melbourne on April 17. It is for people experiencing any kind of persistent pain. Because this workshop coincides with Yoga for Pain Practitioner Training it is being offered at half the normal price.

John’s physiotherapist considered that John could benefit from an outside perspective on his yoga practice so that he could practice safely and in the most beneficial way for his body.
