Why this matters
Contraindications are not a list of prohibitions to memorise. They are part of professional decision-making: understanding which load creates risk for a particular person, what to give instead, and when to stop.
The program connects the mechanism of risk with concrete teaching decisions — before class, during practice and when something goes wrong.
Who it is for
- yoga teachers
- teacher trainees
- serious practitioners
- specialists who need to understand when a technique or intensity must be changed or left out
This is educational material for yoga teachers. It is not medical diagnosis or treatment and does not replace consultation with a doctor. Decisions about permissible load for a person with a medical condition are made by their physician.
Part of PRANA INTEGRITY Teacher Education
Contraindications is one of the modules of PRANA INTEGRITY Teacher Education, alongside Art of Adjustment. Each module is a complete product and is bought separately.
