About the Author

Hello all! My name is Bernice and I am a certified yoga instructor.

In the early years of my yoga practice, I sustained many injuries which required me to take months-long hiatuses from my practice. Needless to say, it was disheartening as I was limited in my participation of this activity I enjoyed so much. And frustrating as any progress I'd made was constantly undone by the long breaks. By the time I had fully recovered, I was back to square one. 

​

As a final-year physiotherapy student, this piqued my interest on how physiotherapeutic knowledge may be incorporated into yoga practice to reduce the risks of injuries and speed up rehabilitation processes. I also (finally) took on my 200h Yoga Teacher Training in 2020 to better learn about pose techniques. 

​

For my final-year PEEK project in 2020, I came up with this website resource for physiotherapists. This resource aims to help you understand the various yoga poses from an anatomical perspective, with the intention of reducing or rehabilitating injuries among yoga practitioners.
