Yoga therapy is an empowering and supported self-care approach to establishing and maintaining health and wellbeing.

​

In yoga therapy, each person is seen as a whole; an integrated being comprising body, breath, mind, emotions and deeper aspects of spiritual self within the wider environment which one lives in. Appropriate yoga practice seeks to establish harmonious balance across these dimensions which allows an awareness and connection to self to arise.When imbalance manifests as ill-health, yoga therapy offers tools that can have a significant impact on all the different aspects of a person to encourage reintegration and restoration of health. The yoga therapist and care-seeker work collaboratively to skilfully tailor practices that move the client towards health, and healing, and the reduction of suffering.

​

This course comprises 600 hours of study in the knowledge, application and skills of yoga therapy and will be accredited by the British Council of Yoga Therapy. It builds on existing yoga teacher knowledge, adding the understanding and application of yoga in a therapeutic context. You are then equipped to work either with individuals or in small therapy groups. Significant time is spent on practical training, developing and honing the skills relevant to working effectively and compassionately with care-seekers.

 

This 2-year training facilitates a personal experience of the process of yoga therapy and involves experiential practice of the tools of yoga applied as therapy. Regular individual tutored sessions are an important part of the course, to underpin the practical experience of yoga therapy work, to have space for one’s own personal development and to be supported through the training.
