The Therapeutic Yoga Training is a great training for bodyworkers. The yoga poses taught in the training make a great fit with many of the bodywork modalities in use today. Bodyworkers who take our training are able to offer their clients an expanded range of services and this can include mixing the yoga with their primary techniques in the same session. So, for instance, if you specialize in cranio-sacral therapy, you can set up the client in restorative poses while doing the cranio-sacral work. While the poses can be done on the massage table, they can also be done on the floor or bed using props available in the client's home.

To get the most out of the training it is best if you have some understanding of the teachings of yoga and exposure to basic anatomy concepts and theory. If you are thinking about becoming a yoga teacher, i.e. wanting to teach yoga classes, then you will want to take a yoga teacher certification course first, then take the Therapeutic Yoga training - this is due both to the way Yoga Alliance certification units are offered, and also to ensure you get the most out of our training.
