Here's a sample video from the Healthy Back Programme for you

 

The programme will include a mixture of lectures and practical yoga sessions, with time for you to practice the skills you are learning. There will be a reflective practice portfolio assignment between weekends one and two, and small group practical assessments on the last day.

You will be provided with a full colour course manual plus pdf’s of template class plans and home practice sheets to give to your students, as well as a pre-class health questionnaire. 

Feedback from previous back care courses:

“It’s not just about backs! This course is going to enhance, no actually change my yoga teaching. I want all of my students to feel empowered with strength and the freedom to move, not just those with back pain. It is also going to be a fantastic journey for me, for helping my own journey with back pain. “

"An essential part of your Dru Toolkit"

“I taught the 6 week Dru Yoga Back therapy programme to a client who had uncontrolled epilepsy and chronic pain, which prevented him from sleeping more than two hours at time. He now takes no painkillers and sleeps all night.. So a big thank-you for the lesson plans.....they really work”J.B.

"The Dru team pool their vast and varied knowledge and experience to provide a comprehensive back care course”K. L.

"Great CPD – a natural and helpful progression for a Dru Yoga teacher.  I have gained confidence in considering knowledge I have from my training in respect to the therapeutic area."

"This course has given me lots of practical techniques to help people who experience back pain."

"It will give you the confidence not to be scared of helping people with back pain through your yoga classes."
