This episode has been taken from a live Q&A session with Brandt and his yoga therapy students.
Many of our students who join us come from a background of years of yoga asana practice. When they start training with us, they learn a completely new set of techniques and models. This helps them refine their personal practice.
This often leads to many of our students making big changes to the way they practice as they continue their yoga therapy journey.
This can have a profound impact on their life. Brandt is always there for his students to guide them through what they are encountering in their personal practice.
In today’s Q&A Brandt discusses using personal practice and contemplation to overcome personal struggles and see them through a new lens. He also covers the issue of not being able to sit in sukhasana (seated cross leg position), why this is okay, and some alternatives.
Other topics covered include creating safe sequences that help strengthen muscles, the question of whether to work with someone who has a substance addiction and has relapsed. There is also a discussion around ratio breathing and the purpose of extending exhales versus inhalation.
We hope you enjoyed this episode! Let us know in the comments or send us a message on Instagram or Facebook any key takeaways that you have.
We have new intakes starting every few months. The next intake starts April 12, 2022!
