Hi,
I am a kinesiologist working for the past 15 years at Orion Health Canmore, where we are actively integrating yoga as a therapeutic part of programming for our clients living with chronic pain. I participate regularly in yoga classes and have also participated in a therapeutic yoga workshops with Shelly Prosko and Elise Browning Miller. I am interested in registering for this course in November. I assume I would be an appropriate candidate but wanted to check first given that you have stated in your description that it is open to physical therapists, yoga teachers and therapeutic yoga teachers; and in a separate sentence that health care professionals are encouraged to attend.
I look forward to hearing from you and look forward to registering for this course.
Regards,
Cindy Kelly
