Sat 14 Jun 2025 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
Are you a Mindful Movement Teacher and would like to explore how to support students with hypermobility?
Brighton Natural Health Foundation are delighted to have experienced teacher and trainer Carol Trevor https://yogacarol.co.uk/ to hold this session.
Hypermobility is commonly evident in movement-based classes (and among teachers), but is it catered for? Are adaptations optional or essential for a condition that can range from asymptomatic to debilitating, and what happens with age?
Hypermobility may initially seem like a blessing, yet it can present unique - and possibly surprising challenges, ranging from joint pain, stiffness and tension, a propensity for injury, compensatory imbalances, a scattered mind and difficulty with spatial awareness.
With care and patience, mindful movement is a supportive practice for hypermobility, with benefits extending far into daily life. How can we,
as teachers, best work with hypermobility, so that the practice we offer remains safe, enjoyable, beneficial and sustainable? How can approaches
for hypermobility benefit the whole class?
Join us to explore this important subject and refine new skills and understanding in a supportive, interactive environment.
Carol began practising yoga over 30 years ago and qualified with the BWY in London. She offers CPD days, a BWY Module in restorative yoga and contributes to various teacher trainings. She is experienced in working with hypermobility and with adults with neurodiversity, one-to-one, in general classes and in trainings.
