The Intelligence of Yoga Therapy with Dr. Hermann Traitteur

Exploring the Interconnectedness of the Musculoskeletal and Organ Systems

World-renowned Yoga Anatomy and Physiology Expert and Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher, Dr. Hermann Traitteur comes back to Calgary to share his in-depth knowledge of yoga anatomy and physiology applied to Yoga Therapy.

This workshop will focus on how to work skillfully and intelligently with common conditions through practice and understanding the effects of poses on the musculoskeletal system and organs along with physiological regulation. 

Dr. Traitteur will offer us practice experience, with poses and sequences for both healing (regenerating/recovery) and activating (stimulating/revitilizing) various areas, organs and systems of the body.

We will have the opportunity to both see how to set up these therapeutic postures, what to look for in the poses and how to adjust for maximum efficacy. With Dr. Traitteur’s guidance, we will then practice to feel and experience the poses and their effects.
