Integrating Yoga and Mindfulness into Clinical Practice for Optimal Outcomes is a 1.5 hour course designed to introduce the science of yoga and mindfulness. Each can be considered as cutting edge tools to improve outcomes within the traditional medical model. We will explore the history and practice of Yoga and its principles of physical postures, breathing, and meditation. Participants will gain an understanding of common yoga poses and their clinical relevance along with modifications and contraindications. Participants will learn breathing and mindfulness techniques which may help regulate chronic, acute, and post-surgical pain and cultivate an easily accessible free tool for managing overall well-being beyond the clinic doors. In addition, there will be a brief discussion of billing and coding along with an opportunity to experience a short series of yoga poses and breath practice.
