Yoga as Medicine

500-hour & 1000-hour
Advanced Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training

 

 

This training is meant for the serious teacher who wants to learn how to teach with purpose!

We're RAISING THE BAR with our 1000-hour Master Teacher Certification!  We believe that an experienced yoga teacher is a key component in our healthcare provider network and with our credentials people know that when they have a teacher with our training they can trust that they have a teacher who is knowledgeable and experienced. 

The 500-hour & 1000-hour advanced trainings focus on anatomy & creating personalized therapeutic yoga prescriptions by using a combination of western anatomy & physiology infused with traditional eastern philosophy. Also, by deepening your personal practice within the trainings you will deepen your teaching from a place of experiential knowledge. 

Each module has an intensive practice component as well as some or all of the following: yoga therapeutics, anatomy, physiology, philosophy, sequencing, assisting/adjusting, holistic health, advanced postures, restorative/yin postures, pranayama, meditation and case studies. 

This program is customized by you and specifically designed without a beginning & ending point. Because this is an advanced training it is meant to be done over the course of a several years so that you can incorporate and use the information as you go, that way you can get the most out of the training. 

Because all of our modules are done in retreat format, this teacher training attracts teachers from all over the world and can be done from anywhere as long as you can attend the retreats you've chosen.  You're welcome to pick retreats based on locations closer to you, locations you want to visit or by the content of the module.  

There is no time restriction to complete the program, so you can take as long as you like.
