This training for yoga teachers and health-care practitioners gives you the skills to integrate therapeutic yoga and healing modalities into your practice and effectively serve individuals recovering from illness or injury, pregnant women, or aging populations. Learn therapeutic yoga techniques to bring the various systems within the body into balance, reduce pain, release long-held tensions, and produce a state of mind conducive to the healing process. Deepen your confidence as a teacher, expand the range of clients you work with, and increase the types of classes you offer.

Students will learn:

• To perform physical assessments to determine the needs and goals of an individual
• To observe movement, posture, breath, and verbal and non-verbal communication
• The physical benefits of therapeutic yoga techniques for muscles, bones, connective tissue, and organs
• The psycho-spiritual benefits of therapeutic yoga to decrease anxiety, improve concentration, and develop a sense of purpose and connection.

At the heart of the Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training is the intention to bring the healing power of yoga to those in need. Successful therapeutic yoga programs are now being used in hospitals, senior centers, physical therapy institutes, and wellness centers. Whether you are a certified yoga teacher, registered nurse, physiotherapist, or healer this course will give you the tools and the confidence to help your client/patients even more by incorporating therapeutic yoga techniques into their plan of care.
