Applied Yoga Therapeutics

Two 4-Day “weekends”, Thursday to Sunday: August 25-28 and September 22-25, 2016

The focus in this module is yoga therapy, with an emphasis on your work as a teacher, with both classes and individual clients. Students will be required to write up and present case studies to the class. We will have face-to-face clients at some of the sessions for the group to work with.

This module will be of particular interest to yoga teachers and students who wish to further advance their understanding of common ailments in terms of the yogic model of the koshas, and who wish to support and treat clients and students suffering from specific medical conditions.

The 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training modules are for Professional Development.

All Yoga Teacher Training hours are valid for your Yoga Alliance accreditation.

Yogic treatments will include asana, breath, meditation and sound practices.

On completing this module students will be competent to advise on specific common ailments that are presented by their clients in one-on-one yoga therapy sessions, or by their students in class.
