An alternative self-healing modality brought to focus by a combination of traditional Indian, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese practices, you will learn to apply physical pressure to specific points in your body with the objective of releasing tension (blockages) and promoting energy flow throughout the body.

Many of us are familiar with feelings of pain and discomfort in our bodies but these areas of concern are often overlooked and left as they are. When there are injuries, strains, stress, and traumas to our muscles, one of the ways our bodies react is by contracting and shortening muscle fibers. This reaction is thought to protect us from further (possible) injuries. However, when this happens, our range of motion becomes compromised, flexibility limited, resulting in more tension and pain in our bodies. Left uncared for, this then creates a neverending cycle of discomfort, pain, and frustration.

In Yoga Trigger Point 1 Course, you will learn to create awareness around the energetic pathways in our bodies and their surrounding organs/meridians, directing your attention to areas of tension and stress in the body and providing you with the opportunity to tap into your body's natural healing power (innate healing mechanism) and consider the source of tension and pain in your body.

This course is suitable for anyone interested in self-healing, and looking to help others. Part 1 and Part II are part of Yoga Therapeutics.

Yogapoint Singapore also conducts regular trigger point classes for neck, shoulder, and back pain, as well as one-to-one personal therapy/yoga wellness sessions, should you be interested in trying out.

*A Trigger Point 1 Course certification will be awarded upon completion
