This course gave me confidence in navigating a yoga class full of people who are all dealing with their own unique limitations. It can be a scary thing to train someone who is injured, they're putting their trust in you and the last thing you want to do is make their injury worse. Raf educated us on some of the most common injuries so that we could be aware of what people are experiencing, and how we can do our best to create/guide people through a class that is designed for safety. He also helped us develop the skill of thinking critically/on the spot about how we could modify or change movements to better suit people’s limitations. We also discussed what is within our scope as a yoga teacher in relation to dealing with injuries. I now feel confident to draw lines with clients, recognizing that a group class is not a one on one session, and that I am not a physiotherapist. I am, however a yoga teacher that has been equipped to read the room and give my clients the best yoga class for them. Raf's extensive knowledge in anatomy, and intuition in movement was very beneficial in this course and will allow me to provide safe and inclusive classes to clients!

It gave me a different perspective on injuries. Our nervous system controls our range of motion, and by slowly progressing a movement and sending a safe signal to the brain, we are able to achieve a broader range of motion. The class definitely help me in giving cues.
