We address the major joints of the body, as well as the fascia, organs, and bones, resulting in greater ease of movement. The secret to the success of IPATH’ing gives hope to so many pain sufferers. The body is put in an active rest state, and melts- letting go of stress and tension, while at the same time guided with held restorative postures, and somatic movement that frees the joints and balances the whole body. This practice is suitable for all ages and genders. The 60 -90 minute practices are designed to offer physical, emotional, and mental wellness relief.

Unfortunately it would be impossible to learn everything there is to know in order to teach The IPATH Restorative Yoga effectively in one module. We offer this course to healthcare professionals and expect a certain amount of knowledge already known in anatomy and physiology. The foundation of this course is myofascial release techniques which are taught by many. Since IPATH begins with MFR, there is much more that the teacher would need to learn to comprehend the specifics of integral postural alignment therapeutics.
