Francisco Kaiut
Brazilian chiropractor and Yoga Master / Founder of the Kaiut Method
'In the West, yoga has been so physically challenging and so physically intense that the mind has been absolutely neglected. Most of this practice is designed to nurture the state of growth and repair in the nervous system, and that would immediately impact the way you perceive stress.'
The Kaiut Method is concerned with returning the body to optimal structure and functionality by working from the joints rather than stretching muscles in extraordinary ways. Kaiut Yoga is designed to work through chronic pain and injuries, general aches and stiffness. It helps those who sit all day, as well as those who do consistent movements such as cycling or running. It keeps us healthy, mobile and pain free for as long as possible. Finally, this is yoga for virtually every body!
Kaiut Yoga Durango with Phyllis Dodson Ceglia MSW
Certified Kaiut Yoga Instructor
I discovered the Kaiut Yoga Method in 2017 in Telluride CO where Francisco Kaiut was teaching workshops. After many years of practicing yoga, this method provided results almost instantly as I was experiencing difficulties related to plantar fascia, some shoulder issues and carpal tunnel. Over the course of those first few days, a new awareness of my body and nervous system began to emerge in a way that had not been evident to me in my practice before. As time went on and I attended more classes and felt more benefits, I decided to learn to teach the method and open a Kaiut school in Durango. Many friends were experiencing either age related problems or issues resulting from years of repetitive motions in their activities of choice or just sitting too many hours in the day. The Durango school opened in January 2019 and has been growing since.
As a Masters level Social Worker who has had many experiences in treating trauma in its various forms, I was impressed by the way this method impacts the nervous system. As Francisco has stated and I agree with, “we have westernized yoga into a fitness routine” and so I felt like this method really took me back to a place of rest and relief all while enjoying the positive results biomechanically. Sharing this in our community was my goal and I am pleased to see so many people overcoming the barriers that have built up over time in their bodies that would have kept them from doing the things they enjoy but instead having the freedom of movement to enjoy life on their terms.
