This foundational training includes

• The philosophy and psychology of yoga therapy

• The use of asana in healing musculoskeletal injuries
• Evaluation skills for assessing imbalance at the physical, energetic, psychological, and spiritual levels
• Movement techniques for developing strength and flexibility
• The essential principles of Ayurveda for yoga therapy
• In-depth exploration of the energy body
• Practical skills for supporting clients at the psychoemotional level, including stress management, relaxation, concentration, meditation, and yoga nidra
• Yoga-based awareness methods such as body mapping, mandala drawing, and guided imagery.

This two-week module introduces specific Integrative Yoga Therapy programs and sets you on the path toward certification.

Note Tuition includes an $85 fee for a manual required in both modules. Module 1 forms the foundation for the 500-hour Professional Yoga Therapist certification from IYT. To graduate, participants must complete Module 2 and at least 50 hours of additional yoga study with a therapeutic focus from IYT, Kripalu, or another school or program. A qualified training taken within two years of your Professional Yoga Therapist registration may also apply. Modules 1 and 2 do not have to be taken together; they may be taken at separate times or in separate years.
