Yoga Rehab: Addressing Pain Through Intelligent Movement

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

Yoga teachers are among the most dedicated — and most overlooked — when it comes to addressing chronic pain. Years of demonstrating, adjusting, and repeating the same patterns take a toll. And when students arrive with injuries, many teachers feel underprepared to help.

This 4-week intensive with Robin Rothenberg, C-IAYT — drawing on four decades of clinical work with chronic pain — 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.
