When working with students who are under the care of healthcare professionals, it's imperative that you're diligent about communicating effectively with them and their medical professionals. It should be a goal of yours that the yoga practice complements the student's overall treatment plan, especially if you're working with private clients.

I have clients with ongoing injuries, clients post-surgery, clients who've been cleared from their physical therapists to return or to try a yoga, and clients who just get injured from time to time. Because this is my area of expertise, I'm able to have in-depth conversations with them, and I always ask if they've been diagnosed & what their recovery plan currently is.

In this episode I'll share with you 10 reasons why it's important for you (as their yoga teacher) to understand anatomy, injuries, and the human body. I can't wait to get into this episode.

Also in this episode I offer an example of how I tweak a common transition - Downward Facing Dog to Lunge - and help make it accessible to various students. I recorded a video that helps to explain the challenges with the transition and how to help students. Click the link and have a watch!
