300-Hour Advanced Yoga Therapy Training
Go beyond standard asanas. Learn to read bodies, master therapeutic prop usage, and guide students through recovery at our residential ashram in Ramanagar.
Chair yoga is a key component of our therapeutic training. This sequence demonstrates how to use a simple chair to build strength, improve balance, and modify classic poses like Upward-Facing Dog and Warrior III for all ability levels.
We teach you how to use props to make yoga accessible and effective for every body. Here, an instructor guides a student in Janu Sirsasana (Head-to-Knee Pose) using a strap to create gentle traction and protect the lower back.
Our training includes extensive work with the Iyengar yoga wall. A student practices a supported inversion, using the ropes to build confidence and experience the benefits of being upside down without strain on the neck or shoulders.
You will learn how to guide students with pain by using props for support. Here, straps are used in Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose) to safely stretch the hamstrings without compromising the lower back.
We explore how a simple chair can transform your practice and teaching. This seated spinal twist demonstrates an accessible modification for improving mobility and relieving tension in the back, suitable for students of all ages.
In our yoga therapy course, you'll learn to assist students with props to prevent injury. Here, an instructor demonstrates how to use a chair and straps to help a student find proper alignment and depth in a seated forward bend.
Restorative yoga is a vital part of healing. This video shows how we use bolsters, blankets, and straps to create a fully supported Savasana (Corpse Pose), allowing the nervous system to completely relax and reset.
Our training is highly collaborative. Students work together, studying anatomy charts and texts like 'Light on Yoga' to understand the mechanics of each pose and how to sequence classes for therapeutic benefit.
This image shows two perspectives of our Iyengar wall training. You'll learn from our expert instructor, Neelam, and then apply those lessons by assisting fellow students in supported poses, building both knowledge and practical skill.
Learning to work with others is essential for a yoga therapist. Here, students practice adjusting a fellow student in a supported supine pose, using straps to stabilize the hips and create a gentle, healing opening.
About Advanced Therapeutic Techniques
We teach you how to see the body, not just the pose. You will master the use of Iyengar wall props, chairs, and straps to address specific pain points like knee and lower back issues, transforming your yoga classes into true healing sessions.
Our 300-hour program is designed for teachers who have already finished their 200-hour training and feel they are only scratching the surface. This is a shift from performance to process. We move away from the competition of 'perfect' alignment and toward understanding how to use props to support anatomy.
Why Therapeutic Techniques Matter
Yoga is medicine when practiced with awareness. In this course, you will learn:
- Anatomy-Based Adjustments: Reading body language to identify limitations in the knees, neck, shoulders, and lower back.
- The Iyengar Wall & Props: Using wall ropes, chairs, and bolsters as tools for alignment and deep recovery, not just as aids for difficult poses.
- Individual & Group Guidance: Adapting your teaching style to support one-on-one therapy sessions or larger group classes with specific needs.
- Yoga as a 'Work-In': Integrating pranayama, meditation, and philosophy to help students move through trauma and stress.
Living at our ashram means your learning does not stop when you leave the mat. For 25 to 30 days, you will wake up to fresh air, eat sattvic food grown on our grounds, and live in a shared, quiet environment. This immersion is essential for you to feel the benefits of the therapy yourself before you teach them to others. You will leave with a 300-hour certification that is recognized internationally, ready to bring these healing tools to your students back home.
