Yoga Rehab: Addressing Pain Through Intelligent Movement

Most yoga trainings teach you how to do a pose. Very few teach you what to do when it causes pain.

This 4-week intensive with Robin Rothenberg, C-IAYT meets you wherever you are. Whether you're here to care for and rehabilitate your own body, or to gain the foundational knowledge to confidently support others in pain, you'll leave with tools that are practical, proven, and that you can come to as needed when pain arises.

Who Is This For?

This course is designed for anyone who wants to move better and hurt less — no prior experience required.

1. Yoga teachers who want practical, therapeutically grounded tools to help injured or pain-affected students, and who are ready to address their own bodies in the process

2. Yoga practitioners who have been navigating chronic pain and want a smarter, more informed approach to their practice

3. Beginners and curious movers who are drawn to yoga but have held back because of pain, injury, or uncertainty about where to start

If chronic pain has been part of your story — or your students' stories — Robin's four decades of clinical experience offer a clear, accessible path forward.

This 4-week intensive with Robin Rothenberg, C-IAYT gives you both. Practical tools to rehabilitate your own body, and the foundational knowledge to confidently support injured students. CCY's Starr Sanborn, C-IAYT will provide hands-on support throughout.

What You'll Learn

Using a proven stepped approach, we'll systematically address the body's most injury-prone regions:

1. Lower Body (May 7 & 14) — Low back, sacrum, pelvis, and hips

2. Upper Body (May 21 & 28) — Shoulder girdle and neck

Week 1 of each module resets functional movement and breath-linked range of motion. Week 2 builds joint stabilization and core strength — reducing the risk of over-stretching and giving you tools you can return to whenever flares arise.
