This 24 hour training is available only to those who have completed both Level I and Level II of the Yoga for Arthritis curriculum. It is recommended for anyone who intends to specialize in arthritis and chronic pain and is appropriate for those conducting private sessions with this population and working in settings such as hospitals, integrative care clinics, or senior centers. The training includes work with case studies, peer-learning on special topics, communication and collaboration with healthcare professionals, and work with less mobile individuals. Each participant is asked to explore and present content related to arthritis that requires greater depth of understanding and is directly relevant to the work of yoga therapists.
