You will learn:

  • Yoga Postures adapted for stress relief, including standing and seated chair poses for different levels of physical capacity

  • Strategies for designing and marketing classes, workshops, and courses

Stress is a component of nearly every illness, either as a cause or an effect, so this course is also a part of the Integral Yoga Therapy curriculum. It provides a solid foundation for many other specialized Yoga Therapy trainings including cardiac, and cancer. This course provides good basic skills for PTSD, but further training is recommended if you want to specialize in teaching for PTSD.

Live sessions on Thursdays at 7& 9:30 pm, Saturdays at 11 am&1 pm and 2&4 pm, and Sundays at 11 am&1 pm ET.
