Did you know that yoga is becoming increasingly “prescribed” by doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, psychologists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and other healthcare and wellness professionals? Even if they’re not calling it yoga, they often recommend breathing practices, relaxation practices, and gentle stretching to their patients and clients to help with their stress, anxiety, physical tension, aches, and pains.
Emily and I recorded a video for healthcare and wellness professionals, to give them specific guidance about how to effectively assign yoga homework to their patients and clients, who most likely have never practiced yoga and may even be skeptical about it.
The idea was to present the yoga practices in a way that feels easy and accessible so that anyone can do them and benefit from them.
Even if you’re not be a healthcare or wellness professional, I wanted to share this with you because you may know someone (or lots of someones) who you believe can benefit from a little yoga.
Believe it or not, people can be intimidated by the idea of trying yoga, and especially practicing yoga in a yoga studio. This little video can give them an introduction to how to do a simple yoga practice at home.
Even better, we created a yoga cheat sheet to print out and use at home or at the office for quick reference. These poses are so easy that they can even be practiced in the car while you’re sitting at a red light!
The downloadable cheat sheets are available here. Please note that, while the content of each of the documents is the same, the titles are customized for different patient/client scenarios. Please feel free to share printed copies, the electronic file, and/or the link to this page.
