Kinesiology is the study of human movement which addresses physiological, mechanical and psychological mechanisms. Applications of Kinesiology include biomechanics, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, physical and occupational therapies. Understanding basic human kinesiology is also key to the understanding of Yoga Therapy technique.
In Kinesiological terms lower body pain in the back, hips and legs is often related to a compensatory walking pattern formed after previous injury, childhood trauma, childbearing, repetitive mechanics or even extensive sitting. This gait compensation can compound the initial problem as well creating additional issues.
In this workshop Brian Dorfman will provide students with the tools necessary to skillfully diagnose gait misalignments and apply the appropriate compensatory therapeutic asana. Helping your students develop a healthy walking pattern is something that will benefit them for their entire lives, on and off their mats. $80
