Do you or your clients deal with knee, ankle, foot or hip pain? Do you lack mobility or strength in these joints because of an old injury or lifestyle? If so this workshop can change your life and provide you tools to heal.
Andrew Tanner grew up playing hockey goalie for 12 years and developed serious knee problems requiring surgery by age 19, luckily instead of surgery he took a flyer on taoist yoga and found within 3 weeks of a regular taoist bowing practice and stance work his knee pain and instability was gone!
20 years of yoga and health later in a freak accident he fell down a flight of stairs in 2021 and badly damaged his left foot/ankle and spine and developed extremely painful plantar fasciitis and constant foot and neck pain. During this second healing journey Andrew found the teachings of former Olympic Coach Charles Poliquin, made popular by Ben Patrick the "knees over toes" guy.
Combining simple Taoist Yoga stance work and joint release exercises with Poliquin's progressive overload and various "knees over toes" positions, Andrew was able to quickly heal his own injuries but even more, he has become stronger and more mobile then he was as a yogi in his twenties!
In this Workshop You Will Experience:
- A short talk explaining the core theory of progressive overload and healing with "knees over toes"
- A 50-Min All Levels practice that incorporates
- Gentle Qi Gong movements to awaken and warm up the joints
