Therapeutic Yoga
A Continuing Education Course
This program is approved for 35 Yoga Alliance hours and 35 AACN CE hours.
Therapeutic Yoga is an answer to the challenge of these stressful times. The practice creates a deeply rejuvenating experience through the many postures that literally hold you as you let go. It is in that deep letting go that a sweet calm can be reached, a repose that allows the innate intelligence of the body to restore balance and well-being. As our senses are drawn within, the practice becomes a meditation leading naturally to self-exploration and self-discovery. By moving into stillness through the layers of the body, emotions, and thoughts, we find at our core a sense of quiet connection; we return to our natural condition of ease and peace. This is the essence of Yoga.
Therapeutic Yoga integrates restorative Yoga, gentle Yoga, healing touch, breath work, and guided meditation to create an environment that supports the body, mind, and spirit in the process of healing. We are all healing on some level, whether psychologically, emotionally, or physically. This truly holistic practice dissolves those distinctions as it guides us to a sense of wholeness. The word healing refers to the process of reuniting, restoring, returning, to oneness. Therapeutic Yoga gives us tools to facilitate that process and a framework to let our intuition guide us as to how best to use them— for ourselves and for sharing the work with others.
The program seeks to bring the ancient healing practice of Yoga into the modern world and into clinical health-care settings, to the people who can benefit the most from it. As traditional medicine is opening its doors to ancient healing arts and the riches of those practices are being studied and validated in a medical context, the opportunity exists for integrating medicine and the holistic healing that Yoga has to offer.
This training is a continuing education course for those who have already received a degree or certification in their chosen field. In particular, the course is geared toward physical therapists, occupational therapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, registered nurses, doctors, and certified Yoga teachers. If you follow some other vocation or do not yet have a degree or certification, please contact us for approval prior to enrolling.
