Program Details

For caregivers and healing professionals alike. Previous yoga experience is not required.

Yoga Nursing is an exciting new movement in health care and yoga therapy, a complementary approach to health and wellness that combines the riches of Kripalu Yoga methodology with traditional Western nursing practice. It is a simple, effective, and heartfelt system that helps relieve pain and suffering for clients while also reducing exhaustion, stress, and burnout for caregivers.

In this unique workshop, you will learn to

  • Acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills of Yoga Nursing
  • Present the core yogic concepts of proper breathing, gentle stretching, deep relaxation, and self-inquiry to clients
  • Identify clients’ challenges and goals
  • Plan and implement a course of treatment and evaluate its outcome and benefits
  • Apply Yoga Nursing methodology in groups and direct client care
  • Practice Yoga Nursing for yourself as a self-care tool.

Yoga Nursing can be offered in a variety of settings as an adjunct therapy for all areas of health care. This weekend, you will enjoy the social support of peers as you learn to enhance the life force of both patient and caregiver.
