Hypermobility & Yoga: What to Do When the Practice That Helped Us Hurts our Students

Hypermobility & Yoga: a workshop for teacher and bodyworkers and dancers and circus people and theatre folks -- anyone who works with people and movement!
No teacher wants students to leave class in pain, & sometimes they do.
In this workshop, you will learn more about how to help our students stay safe and comfortable, and learn how to lead them in practices that are sustainable long-term.
Learn how to recognize the signs of hypermobility, some of the causes, & how to keep students safer. Workshop includes common, subtle, and sneaky ways hypermobility shows up in yoga practices, how to offer modifications and cues that resonate to your hypermobile students, and discussion of the frequent intersection of yoga, hypermobility, anxiety, proprioception, and interoception.
Your students will thank you!
Especially welcome: teachers who haven’t heard about hypermobility and may be somewhat skeptical. We look forward to lots of questions!

About the Workshop
So many of us mistake hypermobility for just really good yoga skills, both in ourselves and in our students, and certainly on Instagram! If we have hypermobile joints, many of the modern assists, cues, and modifications can actually cause more damage to our bodies and lead to profound confusion and frustration and chronic pain.
This workshop will outline some causes of hypermobility, what may be occurring anatomically, and will help you identify hypermobility in our students and selves. Then we will focus on the hip, knee, and elbow joints (the shoulder girdle would require its own workshop, but we will speak generally of it) and how hypermobility in those joints shows up in our yoga practice, how to modify to support the joints, and Ruthie will share some cool supportive modifications for ourselves and our students.
This workshop is appropriate for students and teachers, and anyone with EDS or general hypermobility who wants to learn more about how to practice yoga safely.
