Doug will present practical applications inYoga Therapeutics that are useful for teachers and dedicated students. This workshop will focus on the major joints in the body and the most common complaints that yoga students present: issues of the shoulders, hips, and lower back.
Doug draws upon a number of sources — from contemporary insights into bodywork, Ayurveda, and the insights and principles of the hatha yoga tradition itself.
Develop the ability to assess therapeutic problems and their likely causes, from an anatomical and myofascial perspective, breathing patterns, and the influence of imbalances in the doshas. Explore approaches to resolving these problems through
- Realigning the joints
- Restoring proper flow of circulation
- Reducing pain and nerve impingement
- Regenerate subtle energy flows that support healthy organ function
The aim is to provide the foundation for teachers to empower their students to achieve and maintain these therapeutic realignments for himself or herself through simple and manageable practices. |

After receiving degrees in philosophy from Georgetown and Fordham Universities, and then teaching philosophy at the college level, he pursued a practical experience of yoga at the ashrams Gurudev Siddha Peeth in India.

Embodying Creative Leadership
with Matthew Andrews & Patty Townsend
Wednesday November 10, 2010 9:30am – 5pm $150.
Leadership is an embodied art. Theorizing about what great leaders do is like theorizing about swimming — not of much value unless your body knows how to swim.
Drawing from the cutting edge work in the areas of Organizational Learning, Yoga and Movement, Quantum Physics, Evolutionary Biology, and Action Science, this course will lay the groundwork for an ongoing journey of discovery.
We will explore creative staff relationships and communication, teambuilding, planning, decision making, and more. Participants will gain insight and experience through personal inquiry, coaching and teamwork.
"My friend, all theory is gray, and the Golden Tree of Life is green." ~ Goethe
Matthew Andrews handles leadership transitions for an international non-profit, and has spent years studying organizational learning and personal growth.
