In this workshop we will review the specifics of anatomy and common injuries. We will discuss what poses would be most beneficial and why, what to avoid, what specific instructions and adjustments will be relevant, how to modify basic poses if necessary, and we practice hands-on assists on each other. These techniques are based in Anusara Yoga. We will also practice Kinetic Awareness, which offers simple techniques with rubber balls to relieve chronic tension. A hand-out will be provided. There will be opportunity to bring up questions, either about your own challenges or those of your students.

Ellen Saltonstall began her practice of meditation in 1974, and her practice of Hatha Yoga in 1981. After a decade of study in the Iyengar Yoga method, she met John Friend , who trained and certified her to teach Anusara Yoga. Ellen?s early involvement in massage and dance set the groundwork for her ongoing passion for anatomy and the therapeutic applications of yoga. She has extensive experience working with issues such as menopause, fertility, lower back pain, and repetitive strain injuries.
Ellen is also a senior teacher of Kinetic Awareness, a body therapy using rubber balls. In 1983 Ellen wrote and published the first book on the method, Kinetic Awareness; Discovering Your Bodymind. She continues to use this method in her therapeutic classes, and to train teachers to incorporate it into their work with clients.
Ellen recently co-authored, with Dr. Loren Fishman, two books on yoga which will be published by WW Norton: Yoga for Arthritis (March 2008) and Yoga for Osteoporosis (March 2009). She is currently working on an anatomy book for Anusara Yoga practitioners with Martin and Jordan Kirk.
In addition to running her own home yoga studio, Ellen has taught at numerous yoga studios, colleges and hospitals in the New York area. She is the mother of three children. In Anusara Yoga she finds an elegant and subtle interplay of the physical and the spiritual. She loves sharing her knowledge with students, encouraging them to find their own source of joy and expressive freedom. Please visit her website at Mohiniyoga.com.
