WELLNESS for Arthritis
Yoga for Arthritis & Chronic Pain
Yoga for Arthritis is an evidence-based program based on over a decade of research. Ann works with people to develop creative ways to adapt poses & movements therapeutically using a chair, a wall, props, or a new perspective. Feel results instead of being held back by chronic pain, chronic dis-EASE, & arthritis.
I teach yoga teachers how to safely work with people with arthritis and joint pain. Want to learn more about yoga for arthritis teacher training and certification?
1:1 Online Yoga Therapy
I work individually with clients to help them:
manage their arthritis & chronic pain
delay surgery like joint replacement, strengthen to prepare for surgery, or recover from surgery
develop a home routine
adapt poses specifically for their body so that they can feel more comfortable attending group yoga classes
Live 1:1 sessions with me are available online from the comfort of your own home.
Yoga for Back Care
This accessible practice is great if you are a beginner or you just want something gentle for back pain prevention and relief. Improve your posture, core strength, and flexibility – your back will thank you!
Workshop
I teach the basics of the program at speaking engagements & in a 1.5-2 hour workshop. Often these workshops will have a mix of students with arthritis & yoga teachers. (Longer workshops available)
Tai Chi & Qi Gong with Ann Swanson
Wednesdays @ 8pm ET
Tai chi and qi gong are flowing forms of martial arts from China practiced today for their myriad of health benefits. This 45-minute beginner class will leave you feeling relaxed, focused, and energized.
This class is based on traditional tai chi adapted by a team of medical experts and researchers to be accessible and easy to learn in the modern day. It is gentle enough for folks dealing with many medical conditions but involves a level of focus that anyone can benefit from.
Traditionally, tai chi is done in flat, comfortable shoes, but you can also do it barefoot. Most of the class will be done standing (no mat is needed) and you may want to have a chair nearby to rest. Wear comfortable clothes and experience the benefits for yourself from your living room!
