Yoga Therapeutics

Learn to apply the ancient wisdom of yoga and modern science in a therapeutic context. This module blends cutting-edge neuroscience, subtle anatomy, and somatic psychology with timeless yogic tools. You’ll gain the skills to work one-on-one with students and clients—holding space for their healing, supporting nervous system regulation, and tailoring practices that address real-life challenges. Yoga is the ultimate self-care and healing modality. Its origins go back millennia and have been enhanced, codified, and improved upon to be extremely effective as a modern-day wellness resource.

This part of the program examines yoga therapy's origins and currently practiced applications. Topics covered include anatomy and physiology, the energetic body, types of therapy, Ayurveda, structural and experiential anatomy, the Panchamaya Kosha model, prana’s role in health, client observation, diagnosis and prescription, and much more.

We will also explore Yoga’s role in emotional and spiritual health. Pre-requisites are completion of a 200-hour program or the equivalent, and completion of all other modules in the Yoga Vidya Advanced Training.

• Functional Anatomy
