Session Description

Yoga for Arthritis is an evidence-based program developed by an interdisciplinary team of medical and healing professionals, including rheumatologists, psychologists, public health researchers and yoga therapists. Combining ancient yoga practices with modern medical knowledge, this program offers modifications to address the unique abilities and limitations of persons with rheumatoid arthritis and/or osteoarthritis. In a 7-year randomized clinical trial at Johns Hopkins University, the program’s participation was associated with improved arthritis symptoms, physical fitness, psychological functioning and quality of life. Learn about this program and how to integrate some of the key principles into your practice as well as ways to team with yoga professionals.
