100 Hour Yoga Therapy Foundations Course +
100 Hour Yoga Teaching Techniques =

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Certification 

The training is divided into two parts.
​There is a 100-hour Yoga Therapy Foundations for Mental Health Professionals course designed to support you in integrating evidence-based yogic tools into your personal and clinical practice, and the  100-hour teaching techniques and methods module,  ​which is designed to prepare you to  guide others in group yoga practices with safely and with confidence & to qualify you to register with Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour level teacher. 
The Teaching Techniques & Methods course, while it has a healing theme running through it, focuses entirely on the basic skills needed to lead non-therapeutic public yoga classes or work with private clients using a variety of yoga styles, including vinyasa flow, restorative, gentle, and yin. This portion of the training may include students  who are not mental health professionals. 
We Will Explore: 
  • Yoga as a Spiritual Path​
  • Experiential Anatomy & Physiology
  • ​Embracing the Origins & History of Yoga
  •  Teaching & Exploring Physical Postures Safely
  • Sequencing Transformational Classes
  • Introduction to Ayurveda & Yoga Therapy
  • Defining your Teaching or Personal Practice Style & Focus

The Ease approach to yoga teacher training centers on the cultivation and deepening of your own personal yoga practice, wherever you may be on the path; we can not authentically share with others that which we are not living ourselves.
