ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Learning to apply the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of Yoga as a modality of healing is a highly specialized and difficult art. It includes the judicious application of scientific knowledge, intuition, psychological understanding and solid experience. We can teach the intellectual aspects of Yoga therapy, but the intuitive aspects come from one’s own consistent practice.
Thus, this course in Yoga Therapeutics will introduce the basic concepts of Yoga Therapy, including of taking a history, suggesting asana for specific problems and evaluating outcome. The course format will be based on limited discussion with the most time spent on hands-on application.
Required reading: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.
Recommended for those with teaching experience.

About the Teacher
The practice of yoga is fundamentally an act of kindness toward oneself. This idea is often forgotten, but not by Judith, whose approach is warm, non-judgmental and responsive to individual differences and needs.
Judith Lasater has taught yoga since 1971. She holds a doctorate in East-West psychology and is a physical therapist. Judith is president of the California Yoga Teachers Association, and serves on the advisory boards of Yoga Journal and the Yoga Research and Education Center.
Her yoga training includes study with B. K. S. Iyengar in India and the United States. She teaches ongoing yoga classes and trains yoga teachers in kinesiology, yoga therapeutics, and the Yoga Sutra in the San Francisco Bay Area. Judith also gives workshops throughout the United States, and has taught in Canada, England, France, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Peru, and Russia.
She is the author of six books: A Year of Living Your Yoga, Yoga Abs, Yoga for Pregnancy, 30 Essential Yoga Poses, Living Your Yoga and Relax and Renew.

| I was a graduate student and only in my early twenties, but was suffering from arthritis. Luckily, as a benefit of my part time job at the “Y”, I was able to take for free the yoga classes offered there, and was hoping these classes would help to relieve some of my pain. The experience of my first class was life-changing, to say the least. I felt that I had found something that was a form of worship using the body instead of only worship by prayer. The morning after my first class I got up and practiced what I remembered. It has been the same every morning since that September day in 1971. I began teaching 20 classes a week a scant 10 months later. I had found my calling.
Now arthritis-free, I completed my MA in Government, and after marrying and moving to California, graduated from the University of California, San Francisco, in Physical Therapy. I went on to receive a Ph.D in East-West Psychology, to help found the California Yoga Teachers’ Association, the Yoga Journal magazine and the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco, the first one in the US. Currently I am the author of 5 books and hundreds of articles on yoga. But most proudly, I am the wife of Ike Lasater and the mother of three grown children.
