Specialist Yoga Certifications: Advance Your Practice
Move beyond basic asanas. Our specialized training tracks in Yoga Therapy, Aerial, Pranayama, and more give you the skills to guide students through deep healing and niche practices.
Many students, especially women, feel they lack the shoulder strength for certain asanas. In our Aerial Yoga classes, we use the hammock as a tool to build that strength effectively and safely. This simple drill can be practiced at home too.

What is the difference between a Yoga Teacher and a Yoga Therapist? This series of images breaks it down. A therapist offers a more specialized, healing-focused approach.
A key difference is earning potential. Yoga Therapists can command higher fees due to their specialized skills in creating personalized, therapeutic plans for clients with specific health needs.
While a yoga teacher is known for guiding well-being, a yoga therapist gains recognition as a healer. They are equipped to address specific health challenges, building a reputation as a trusted therapeutic resource.
A yoga therapist develops a deeper spiritual connection with clients, guiding them to connect with themselves on a soul level. This often leads to them being seen as a spiritual guide.
About this collection
When you choose to specialize, you stop being just another instructor. In our Yoga Therapy or Aerial tracks, for example, we do not just teach poses. We teach anatomy, pathology, and how to assess a student's pain, whether it is a chronic back issue or limited mobility. This is about gaining the technical skill to provide actual relief, not just guiding a general routine.
From Teacher to Healer
Many students come to us after finishing their 200-hour foundation course, asking what comes next. The answer is not just more asanas. It is specialization. Our advanced tracks are designed for those who want to provide targeted solutions rather than general wellness.
Our Specialist Tracks
- Yoga Therapy Certification: This is our most intensive track. You will learn to work with clients managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or dealing with specific health challenges. We move past general fitness into the science of anatomy, symptom management, and personalized therapeutic planning.
- Aerial Yoga Training: This is not just about fun inversions. We use the hammock as a tool to build strength, assist with difficult postures, and make yoga accessible to those who might struggle on the mat. It is a powerful addition to any teacher's toolkit.
- Pranayama & Breathwork: Here, we delve into the science of prana. If you want to master the art of the breath to control energy and manage stress, this track provides the depth you will not find in standard drop-in classes.
- Kids & Yin Yoga: We offer specialized modules for those who want to reach specific demographics, making the practice safe, engaging, and age-appropriate.
