Yoga is becoming increasingly popular as a mainstream, western discipline, but its clinical therapeutic applications are relatively unknown to most rehabilitation clinicians. This seminar is specifically designed for you, the therapist! You will expand your therapeutic repertoire, as well as improving client functions with the incorporation of yoga into a vast array of clinical settings. This material is highly useful for both adult and pediatric clients, and it can even be used to assist with pain management too. Yoga therapy will even help the clients you struggle most to help!
Yoga for Therapeutic Rehabilitation taps into your knowledge of anatomy and physiology (not to mention psychology) in order to enhance treatment plans for clients who suffer from multiple sclerosis, cancer, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and many other orthopedic and neurological disorders. Participants will learn new and innovative ways to use props and equipment to assist their clients’ therapeutic outcomes. You will have the opportunity to problem-solve and apply what you learn in breakout sessions, during which you will practice techniques to maximize function for clients in a wide array of settings. By incorporating yoga into your therapeutic practice, you will begin to see healthcare in a whole new way. Do not miss this exciting opportunity to bring yoga as a treatment modality to your clients.
This seminar is designed for people of all skill levels. Participants do not need to be experienced with yoga to be able to attend this seminar or integrate its benefits with clients!

BETSY SHANDALOV, OTR/L, RYT, CYKT, has been an Occupational Therapist since 1992. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Boston University. She has worked in adult acute care at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. She also has worked in rehabilitation and community re-entry at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia, as a clinician, educator and supervisor. Ms. Shandalov has presented on multiple topics at the collegiate level to both undergraduate and graduate students in occupational therapy around the country. She moved to California and got her 200-hour adult yoga teacher training with a focus on Iyengar yoga. She also received her certification as a yoga kids teacher and trainer with Yoga Kids International. She now teaches Therapeutic Yoga to adults and kids in a variety of health care settings and treats people privately using yoga as her main therapeutic modality. She lectures at wellness events and promotes yoga as an untapped therapeutic modality in healing an existing injury and for injury prevention.
In her practice, Ms. Shandalov draws from yoga's ancient philosophy of incorporating body, mind, and spirit. She sees adults and kids with all ranges of diagnoses. Some are acutely ill and others have long standing disabilities or injuries. Ms. Shandalov uses her knowledge of western medicine to incorporate an integrative medicine approach. Her extensive knowledge of disease and disability in a variety of settings combines with her complementary yoga treatment to provide a new level of understanding of how the brain and the immune system can work together for natural and therapeutic healing.
