Yoga can be safely practiced by EVERYONE. Indeed, if you can breathe, you can practice Yoga. Yet, not all practices are safe for every one and some yogic practices are strongly cautioned for specific health concerns. If someone walks into your class with a history of stroke, or a herniated disc, can you keep them safe in their practice? As their teacher, it's your responsibility. Keep them safer - with the knowledge in the palms of your hands.

As a certified yoga therapist, I am elated to have such an amazing tool at my finger tips.

I am thrilled about the launch of Yoga Therapeutics Pro. When a student lets me know about a health condition right before class, I have information at my fingertips to ensure they can practice safely; and when I am looking for inspiration for my practice or the next class I teach, I can scroll through the categories. And with this app, my yoga therapy clients are empowered to experiment with new poses safely and effectively. Well done!
