The Therapeutic Yoga Training Program gives yoga teachers
the skills to work intelligently with students who are
living with chronic illness or injury, as well as pregnant
and aging populations. Knowing how to work with these groups
will deepen your confidence as a teacher, expand the range
of private clients you can work with, and increase the types
of classes you can offer. The training also offers a great
education in the gentler styles of yoga that can be
incorporated into more active classes.
Therapeutic Yoga is a comprehensive system of restorative
yoga, gentle yoga, breath awareness, and guided meditation
specifically designed to enhance the body’s own capacity to
heal. Using readily available props such as pillows and
blankets to gently support the body, the benefits of
Therapeutic Yoga are accessible even to those recovering
from injury or illness. Breathwork, guided imagery and
hands-on healing modalities are also part of the system,
working to balance the body and ease the mind.
In addition to yoga teachers, our graduates include nurses,
physical therapists, acupuncturists, and other healthcare
professionals. They are able to integrate the techniques
taught in the training into patient care. Many of them have
successfully taken Therapeutic Yoga into hospitals,
hospices, home-care situations, and many other areas of
healthcare.
This 35-hour foundational course covers the basics of
Therapeutic Yoga. In addition to the theory and practice of
supported yoga postures and gentle yoga, participants will
learn:
- Physiology of
stress and relaxation
- Benefits and
contraindications of each posture
- Effect of posture
on acupuncture meridians
- Implications of
scar tissue and adhesions
- Sequencing
guidelines for poses
- Integrating
postures with breathwork and guided imagery
- Incorporating
hands-on healing techniques
- Supporting healing
in students or clients
This program is open to physical therapists, nurses,
occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals
(no previous experience with traditional yoga practices is
required) and to yoga teachers who have completed a basic
yoga teacher training course. For nurses, it is AACN
approved for 21.5 continuing education contact hours. For
yoga teachers, this course may also be applied toward the
200 or 500 hour registry with Yoga Alliance.
You are required to bring 1
rectangular bolster, 1 yoga blanket, 1 yoga strap and an eye
pillow to the workshop.
