The Bridge from Teaching to Group Yoga Therapy
The Bridge from Teaching to Group Yoga Therapy
During our first year together, we help bridge your knowledge from previous Yoga Teacher Trainings to understanding the fundamentals of teaching Yoga Therapy to groups in the Śrī Kriṣṇamācārya-Śrī T.K.V. Deśikachar/Deśīkācār and Iyengar Restorative Yoga Traditions.
This will start with a 4 to 8 month online internship, taking weekly Yoga Therapy group classes to embody the basics before doing our first 5 weeks of course work the following summer that offers you the basics of teaching in this lineage of teachings.
Summer Intensive Musings
These 8 Yoga Therapists-in-training have made it to the end of Term 3 of their 1000-hour, IAYT-accredited program with Yoga Therapy International (YTI). We had 5 in-person and 3 online students this term, as we again found creative aways to teach hybridly to students joining remotely from as far away as Australia.
We also would like to thank our Term 3 faculty, Neil Pearson, Tracy Dignum and Nicole Marcia as well as our alumni Camela Cowan, Karen Petersen and Tiffany Pettett, who all supported our students and Maggie this term.
