Neurology of movement - The role of the teacher

Instead of thinking of adjustments as being a “correction” for a pose, we can support students to find their own way into a posture that suits them. But we also know that we can have maladaptive movements that have become coupled with pain. So that by creating new movement inputs- perhaps with the help of verbal cues or adjustments, we can create new “cortical maps” or maps of the body in the brain. This can help us to increase self-awareness- ie practice yoga, as well as potentially alleviate pain.

Instructor

Laura GILMORE

Senior Yoga Teacher, TrainerPRO

I share an evidence based approach to yoga, based on the current research into body and mind. This is integrated with yogic wisdom and a trauma sensitive framework. My teaching style has evolved over the last 30+ years of practice and 20+ years of teaching. My asana teaching and practice is playful and creative. I weave elements from many traditions together. Yoga has always been based on truth and this gives us ways to integrate movement science, pain science and neurology. I share yoga as a way to move from self-limiting beliefs, and to find greater ease in this life, through acceptance of ourselves and each other. "Laura strikes the balance beautifully between profundity and humour. If you want to experience the true meaning of yoga this is the teacher for you." recent trainee, Lesley-Ann Eaton.
