Guided by an exceptional team of teachers, Sacred Yoga Therapy is delivered as intensive modules all comprised of fascinating yogic science, philosophy, information and direct experience. Here the sacred science of Kundalini Yoga is demystified and deconstructed to give a deeper understanding of how Kundalini Yoga and Kundalini energy work. Students learn how to apply yoga therapeutically in the one-to-one and small group settings to alleviate distress and suffering and empower the individual on their journey to finding inner harmony.
Upcoming Trainings
A Twisted Hair is the title given to an indigenous person who has been sent from their clan - say Buffalo - to learn the Medicine of another clan - say Bear - and bring it back to share and weave into a Twisted hair or luminous thread of wisdom. In this module we bring together the frameworks that we have learned in previous modules and apply them to a series of common conditions – including stress, headaches, burnout, insomnia, ama/dampness, high and low blood pressure, depression, OCD and ADHD. We learn yoga therapy tools that are appropriate for each of these conditions. We examine the development and evolution of disease and learn how to set priorities in therapeutic plans. We address root and branch, the concept that the root cause of a condition differs from the symptomatology associated with the condition. Lastly, we learn to navigate the space where the model ends and the person begins, practically understanding the maxim "address the person, not the condition.”

COURSE DETAILS
Over the course of the modules, we examine the different bio-systems of the human body from a holistic paradigm, presenting them both in health and harmony and in disease and disharmony. The primary focus of the program is learning to work with the mind, emotions and the energy body.
We integrate both western and eastern perspectives in our work. The program covers western anatomy & physiology, psychology, neuroscience and research on yoga and yoga therapy. We also study yogic anatomy and the subtle body in depth, looking at several frameworks and systems for addressing the energetic body and its imbalances. These include the elements, meridians, organs, doshas, chakras, 10 bodies and vayus. Perspectives from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda serve to illuminate our understanding of yoga and yoga therapy.
ADVANCING PRACTICE
The extensive course curriculum includes study of the energetic physiology and pathology of, and specific interventions for numerous conditions including stress, burnout, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, addiction, insomnia, life transitions and other common ailments. We learn many tools for helping our clients to find their way back to balance and wellbeing, which are detailed in the following section. The program provides a solid foundation in ethics and self-inquiry as a practitioner and places a strong emphasis on personal development. As such, the training can also be a transformative and self-empowering process for the student.
Students learn clinical skills including how to take a case history, analyze the resultant picture and create a personalized plan to help empower the person to move from suffering to wellbeing. They also learn how to adjust and evolve their therapeutic plans based on feedback from their clients.
