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. ### Why Choose Our Training? We keep our classes practical. Whether you are at our Indiranagar or HSR Layout studios, you are getting hands-on experience, not just textbook theory. We focus on how to build a sustainable career, including how to price your specialized services and manage one-on-one sessions effectively. Our goal is to make sure you walk away with the confidence to start your own practice, knowing you have the tools to actually help people. Om Namah Shivaya. ## About Bodhi School of Yoga I am Ashok Vankineni. I left my corporate life because I realized that true success is about being useful to society, not just climbing a ladder.
