Overview
This course, recorded at the 2024 Montreal International Symposium on Therapeutic Yoga (MISTY), looks at how lymphatic and immune systems are connected to digestive systems. What are the similarities and what are the differences? How can we influence our digestion with yoga?
With Katharina and Günter, we will dive deep into their approach to yoga therapy developed over the last decades within one-on-one sessions in outpatient clinic settings. They will come from both sides – body and mind – meeting the person with a problem and unique potential.
In their sessions, they discuss key features of tissue repair and reveal significant asana variations related to functional skills. As Yoga therapy relies on the active participation of the client in the healing process, they will show ways to empower intrinsic motivation and support inner stability and emotional balance.
The workshop is an experiential firework of ideas, switching back and forth from theoretical explanations to practical : )
Learning Objectives
In this online course, you will:
- Understand the importance of varied lifestyle choices and how they can affect the overall health and well-being of our clients and ourselves.
- Learn from the multi-disciplinary perspectives of collaborative practitioners.
- Learn to empower intrinsic motivation and support inner stability and emotional balance in your clients.

I feel I take pretty good care of myself, and I am not sure if my client base will be open to learning or changing their lifestyle choices, how can this session benefit me?
Even though you or your clients may not feel they need or be open or ready to make changes, planting a seed of awareness of the choices we make and how these affect our health can in time find its way to the surface, maybe when a health issue comes up. Why not plant this seed now?
