  ChiroYoga™ Seminars are co-sponsored with the New York Chiropractic College Department of Post-Graduate Education and qualify for 12 hours of continuing education with each workshop completed.

Yoga and Chiropractic
  Yoga and its system of yoga therapeutics is one of the fastest-growing personal health practices in the United States and throughout the world. Today's yoga is a merging of its 5000 year-old traditions with a cutting edge understanding of anatomy and biomechanics. The principles of alignment used in the yoga practice of postures are sophisticated and user friendly. This is an obvious place for the chiropractor to demonstrate professional expertise and knowledge.

Why Take This Workshop?
Chiroyoga™ Seminars introduces the principles of alignment and posture, anatomy and biomechanics that are the basis of today's study of yoga and the practice of yoga therapy. The workshops explore specifically how these principles can enhance the chiropractic practice in our evaluation, adjustment and re-hab protocols. The course is technical, yet hands-on and very user-friendly. It is not intended to challenge or replace any chiropractic method but instead to share some true gems of insight from this age-old system that will certainly inspire most chiropractic approaches. Some prior knowledge of yoga is helpful but not required. All yoga practice during the seminar will be at an all-levels intensity.
