Course overview
Course description
This course is designed to teach relaxation practices that support pain management and enhance overall well-being. You will be encouraged to identify areas of chronic pain and explore activities that may contribute to discomfort. Through this course, you will learn to pay attention to your posture, body alignment, and how to create a sense of comfort in your body. We will explore various relaxation techniques, including muscle contraction and release, gentle mindful movements, breath awareness, sound release, body scanning, and Yoga Nidra, all aimed at reducing pain.
Throughout the course, you will have access to practice resources in Canvas to complement your weekly classes. These resources will support you in developing a regular relaxation practice. You will be encouraged to identify which techniques are most beneficial for your pain management and practice them independently. By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your ability to implement these techniques into your daily routine, empowering you to manage pain more effectively and improve your quality of life.
