It will assume a knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of respiration equivalent at least to that of our Yoga Therapy Diploma Course. Robin Monro is particularly interested in yoga therapy for asthma because it was the yogic cure of his own asthma that led him to set up the Yoga Biomedical Trust. His insights into asthma continue to evolve, as his own practice deepens, and his experience of teaching people with breathing conditions grows. Robin will lecture on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of asthma, and lead practical sessions on (a) assessment of asthma and (b) the focusing of postural, breathing, relaxation and meditational practices for people with asthma. He will consider hyperventilation and mild COPD alongside asthma. Venue: One, 1 Teesdale Street, London, EC2 6GF (Readily accessible from Bethnal Green on the Central Line, and Liverpool Street Station) Refreshments: Teas are provided. Lunch will be available from One (£5), or you can bring a packed lunch or go to a local café.
