Functional Yoga Therapy Advanced Assessment & Therapeutic Planning Training
Welcome to Functional Yoga Therapy. We have been teaching the course “Functional Yoga Therapy: Advanced Assessment Techniques and Therapeutic Protocol” for 18 years. It has gone through many different changes and upgrades, with each successive offering keeping up on research and focusing on giving our students appropriate learning environments; while always keeping our training as practical and hands on as possible.
With the pandemic, we were able to “up our game,” by taking all of our prior educational protocols, as well as adding important new facets (such as tips and techniques in the virtual tele-health field for yoga therapists), and putting it into a Learning Management System to be taught both virtually and hybrid. The other wonderful thing about our Learning Management System is that we were able to catalogue all of our videos, protocols, PowerPoints and supplemental information in one place where all of our students have access. We still have a hard copy manual which is also offered in digital format. As well, four years ago we added a mentoring system to the learning format, so that each student has a mentor to gain greater depth.
In February 2025, we will be offering this advanced training in person in Tucson Arizona. In many ways it is a hybrid format, in order to spend our in-person time diving deep into assessments and therapeutic protocol development. There will be preparatory work, all accessed virtually on our learning system with the help of a mentor, and then 4 days in person, in Tucson, Arizona.
The goal of this in-person concept is to give all of the students as much hands-on assessment skill building as possible, as well as work intensively with case studies and protocol building. This course will be offered to:
* anybody interested in taking the course as part of a larger Yoga Therapy training (an example is InnerPeace Yoga Therapy’s 1000 hour course);
* any past students who have already studied with Functional Yoga Therapy, and want to brush up on, and excel in their assessment skills;
* anybody else looking for greater understanding in the field of structural yoga therapy. This would include people who have studied with other schools of yoga therapy, physical therapists, occupational therapists, massage therapists, pilates therapists, fitness professionals, etc.
There is approximately 25 hours of self-paced preparatory work to be completed prior to the in-person training, all accessed on our learning system with the help of a mentor. The online Preparatory work will become available in October 2024.
- Online Preparatory Work Begins – October 12, 2024
