Learning for personal and professional development

 

This 5-day foundation module with two 1-2-1 sessions provides an experience of yoga therapy from a personal perspective whilst covering fundamental theory in the tradition of yoga on health and healing.

 

During the module, yoga practices using asana, pranayama, chanting and meditation will encourage awareness of their therapeutic use through direct experience and through reflection on your personal health and self-development. 

 

Supporting clients to bring about changes in their self-understanding and improve diverse aspects of their health is hugely rewarding, humbling and sometimes challenging. The yoga therapy module furthers your professional development through the study of healing and working with the challenge of compromised health in an individual yoga therapy setting. It is also a growing area of work as the effectiveness of yoga therapy becomes more recognised by mainstream conventional medicine.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, NICE, recommends Yoga as a suitable first stage intervention for chronic non-specific low back pain.

 

Whilst this course does not provide a full training in yoga therapy, many aspects of the module can be used to support teaching individuals and group work more effectively. It may also be the starting point into a new area of study and work in yoga therapy, and facilitating a personal experience of the process of yoga therapy.
