YTT300 - Adaptive Therapeutic 300 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training

yoga class joining hands Immerse in higher learning by taking the initiative to become a 500 level RYT with our Adaptive Therapeutic Advanced Program providing skills in Inclusive Sequencing, Self Care, and Professional Development.

Our program is an opportunity to engage in a comprehensive system of adaptive yoga designed to inform, equip and inspire our students while offering a transformational experience which exceeds the industry standard and minimum requirements set by Yoga Alliance. The program highlights the evidence based research supporting Yoga and articulates the important role this powerful modality plays in living well, health interventions today and the continuum of care (CAM). The integrative components of this training are based on our specialty training in the therapeutic application of yoga, the use of yoga as a complimentary medicine, and case study facilitation is not derived from our status as a RYS with Yoga Alliance Registry.

You will learn to tailor sequences, mindfulness interventions, and implement holistic methods for special populations in restorative settings. This program will cultivate a deeper grasp for yoga philosophy, the use of evidence informed practice and incorporating yoga in a professional way while deepening your understanding in principles to optimize whole health. It emphasizes on the importance of adequate self care, creating and holding spaces for others, holistic wellness, and the power of lifestyle choice.

Designed to complement approaches already being used in client and patient centered professions, explore the important role this powerful therapy plays in living well, health care today and the continuum of care.
