Body Balance Yoga, Inc., created in 1991 by Jenny Otto, expresses the healing aspects of eternal wisdom. In a time when what’s old is new and modern science continues to affirm what the ancients always knew, Body Balance Yoga (BBY), brings a fresh perspective to the current conversation. Yogic discussions have been on-going for centuries. Welcome to the conversation!
With BBY trainings, not only will you explore the timeless teachings, but you will also leap into present day wellness & medical research. Thanks to Jenny’s mind & ability to make connections, you will be at the head of the curve with other visionary movement & mind/body specialists.
Therapy Training is the heart of Body Balance Yoga Teacher Trainings. Yoga is extremely effective in a therapeutic way when following precise universal and sound bio-mechanical principles of alignment. With BBY, you will study connective structural relationships to find the trails that lead to pain. Learn how to relieve pain from common injuries and special conditions, such as neck and shoulder pain, knee misalignments, sacral and lower back pain, sciatica and more. We will see how precise alignment can actually begin the healing process and release chronic pain and tension. You will receive hands-on practical tools on how to help relieve pain.
