Rehabilitating for Resilience With Self-Care Practices Informed by Yoga

About this Certificate Program

Participants in this course series will examine self-care practices informed by yoga and integrate them based on the science of resilience. Self-compassion supports resilience, a key facet of well-being. Participants will benefit via up-leveling the home instruction component of clinical practice while also discovering opportunities to also enhance personal resilience. Both patients and professionals become more deeply engaged in the rehabilitation process when we collaboratively design it to address all aspects of our human experience

Target audience

This can include but is not limited to those practicing physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, nursing, social work, personal training, and health coaching. Practices learned can be applied to personal development of resilience and creating resilient teams in all types of healthcare, wellness, and fitness settings.
