Course Description: This course will introduce the basic principles of Pilates and yoga in the Professional Yoga Therapy (PYT) method.   Students will explore the use of these techniques, and modifications thereof, to complement and enhance traditional exercise programs for patients with both neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diagnoses.  This course will include lecture, lab, case studies, and a review of current literature. The course name has since been changed to Yoga and Pilates in Physical Therapy. I've also changed it to a single weekend format similar to a CE course, rather than conducting it as a night class over several weeks.
