Applications of Yoga Therapy

Part 2 of The EYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Training (1,000 hrs)

Once you’ve successfully completed Foundations of Yoga therapy, you’ll be ready to embark on Part 2 of the program: Applications of Yoga Therapy. As the title suggests, this is the portion of the program that encompasses your practicum and provides you the supervision and skill-set to work directly with clients. In Applications we explore musculoskeletal, psycho-emotional and physiologic conditions that we may encounter in our work. Each member of our faculty brings extensive knowledge in areas of traditional and complementary medicine and are either C-IAYTs or experts in Ayurveda. Their combined depth of understanding of anatomy, physiology, psychology, and ayurveda in relationship to yoga therapy make this a scientifically-based professional training, with strong academic rigor. The EYT training empowers yoga teachers to become skilled and confident in the intricacies of yoga therapy on the physical, psycho-spiritual, and physiologic levels, utilizing the best of yoga, Ayurveda, and Western body/mind science.

The live webinar format maintains the juicy combination of lecture, discussion, practice, and experiential processes in small groups that has made the EYT sangha feel enriching and collaborative. Unfolding our dense curriculum in monthly segments provides a more integrative learning format and ensures we have additional time for practice and skill development. As always, we will maintain the high-touch faculty supervision for practicum that is an unparalleled aspect of our training program. Every hour of our program will be recorded for students to review and to ensure no one misses out, even if they are occasionally unable to attend.

Applications builds on the concepts and processes laid out in Foundations in a similar hybrid format. In Applications, students study anatomy, physiology, psychology, and Ayurveda with medical experts in these fields. Therapeutic and Ayurvedic strategies for addressing a broad range of conditions are provided with ample time to explore the appropriate application of these techniques. Ayurvedic cooking classes to balance the doshas and nourish each of the physiologic systems is an intricate part of the course. Applications is where students embark on their clinical practicum, thoroughly supported by Robin and our dedicated mentor team. By the time our students graduate, they have an established Yoga Therapy practice, a developing referral network, and the basic marketing and business skills needed to be successful in the field.
