Welcome to the Self-Compassion in Pain Care Series!
This series includes 4 classes:
o The first class opens with a 50 minute compassionately guided practice of mindful movement, breathing, and awareness practices; and ends with an introductory 20 min presentation about the components and benefits of self-compassion.
o The second class includes more guided practices (60 minutes of gentle, compassionately guided movement, breathing and mindful awareness activities) and ends with a presentation about the common misconceptions of self-compassion along with the research around self-compassion and chronic pain.
o The remaining 2 classes consist entirely of different guided practices: - The practices include: a variety of mindful awareness practices, gentle movements, breathing practices, self-compassion practices (including the self-compassion body scan), and self-reflective practices.

Movement, mindfulness and breathing practices have all been shown to improve many aspects of our physiology and psycho-emotional health, including pain. But sometimes these practices can increase pain.
How we move, breathe, what we think and feel about ourselves, and our habitual self-talk or self-criticism can be useful to consider and explore in pain management.
Research suggests that self-compassion can be helpful for people with a wide range of health issues, including chronic pain.
Many compassion and pain researchers and people in pain agree that self-compassion is a radical act of self-care and consider it to be the foundation of successful pain care.
I hope you'll join me in these recordings of this 4-part online class series so you can experience the practice of cultivating self-compassion.
In this series, I combine self-compassion principles and practices with yoga-inspired practices to guide you to move, breathe, reflect, explore, learn and experience the dynamic process of self-compassion.
WHO IS THIS SERIES FOR?
- If you live with persistent or chronic pain and want to try some self-care strategies; perhaps you’re looking for something new, different or in addition to what you are already doing.
- If this concept of self-compassion interests you, and you want to learn more about it and its health benefits – and if you are curious to learn how to practice it, bring it into your life, and experience the benefits it can offer.
- If you are interested in trying mindfulness, movement, and breathing practices or yoga-type classes, but have been hesitant for many reasons like feeling self-conscious, or fearful of injury or worried at not having options or permission to go at your own level or pace.
- If you need a boost and want to restart a regular practice that you have trouble committing to because of unpredictable pain or fatigue.
- If you are a movement, fitness, yoga or health professional who wants to learn and experience self-compassion principles and practices combined with yoga-inspired practices that are in line with pain science and compassion science that can then be shared with your clients or patients in your clinic or studio setting.
