ADDITIONAL 30 hour YOGA ANATOMY COURSE

In addition to the full 10 week training I offer, you will also receive a 30 hour Yoga Anatomy course created by the highly respected Doctor Yogi, Andrew McGonigle. He has combined his medical training with his yoga teacher training to specialise in making anatomy and physiology accessible relevant and fun for yoga teachers.

This additional course is to enhance your knowledge and understanding of human anatomy to support you in all your teaching and for your own practise. It will help you make informed choices about adapting yoga to your students and bring more confidence to your teaching.

This anatomy course would cost £525 for you to purchase separately but you receive for FREE as part of this Yoga For Cancer Teacher Training.

• The course is on demand so that you can begin whenever you are ready.

• You will have one year’s access to the course so you can revisit the content when you need to.

COURSE CONTENT:

• Week 1 - Understanding Cancer and Medical Treatments. This helps you understand cancer terminology and takes a look at the common forms of cancer treatment and the holistic impact it has on patients.

• Week 2 - Communication Skills, Boundaries & Ethics. There are special considerations needed when working with cancer patients and this week delves into suitable language in and out of the classroom as well as exploring some boundary and ethical issues that may come up.

• Week 3 - Stress, Trauma & Fatigue. These are all very common problems for people going through cancer treatment and we look and how and why they occur and how we can adapt our teaching to offer support and address these issues.

• Week 4 - Asana Practice & Breathing. This is the first part of focusing on lesson planning. We look at the purpose and benefits of asana and breath work for cancer patients and underlying principles of this specialist lesson planning.

• Week 5 - Yoga after Breast Surgery. With breast cancer being the most common cancer for women who make the majority of yoga students I have included this specialist module. We cover different types of surgery, holistic considerations for women and yoga as rehab after breast surgery.

• Week 6 - Restorative Yoga & Meditation. This is part two of focusing on lesson planning. Here we dive into the benefits of restful yoga and mediation, some precautions we may need to take and principles for suitable practise.

• Week 7 - Medical or ‘Crash’ Menopause. This is a common and underserved side effect of cancer and cancer treatment. This week we look at how medical menopause occurs and what we can offer as yoga teachers to support women affected by it.

• Week 8 - Live teaching practise for course participants. This is often the most popular week of the course. It is where all participants have the opportunity to teach a short practise or sequence to the group and take part in feedback discussions. Everyone learns from this experience including me!

• Week 9 - Support Networks and Creating a term of Yoga for Cancer Classes. This week is in two halves. Section one covers the importance of wider support networks for our students, for ourselves and how to start creating them. Section two gives you guidance and inspiration for creating a term or series of classes.

• Week 10 – Integration, finding work, extended Q&A. In the final week we bring together and recap the whole course into a wider context and look at ways you can find or create work once the course is over. There is also an extended open Q&A session for any questions you have from any aspect of the course.

• Weekly live yoga for cancer class. Every week I teach a yoga for cancer class as part of the lie zoom session for you to experience and learn from. This will give lots of content and inspiration for your own classes.
