At some point in our lives, we will all become caregivers for people we love, whether family or friends, in hospital or at home. Let's explore together how we can use the foundation of a yoga practice to help loved ones who are going through illness or other challenging life situations. We will investigate fi ve essential integrative therapies we can use to care for others and to take care of ourselves as care providers. We will learn specifi c techniques in the modalities of yoga therapy, aromatherapy, reiki, nutrition, and contemplative care that can be used to address the common patient symptoms of PANIC—pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia, constipation/confusion—and fatigue. This day is based on curriculum presented in the 12-month Urban Zen Integrative Therapist Program.
