Restorative Yoga Teacher Training: LEVEL 2 Somatic Therapy Training (70 hrs)This is an extremely comprehensive training meant for those interested in working 1:1 with clients for somatic awareness and embodiment training.
This training is an approved foundational training and continuing education course in Yoga Therapy through IAYT and follows the Panchamaya Yoga Therapy Healing System. You will explore the depth of restorative practice, the Koshas, and the practices’ therapeutic nature, including its impact on autonomic functioning and its use in somatic healing. It is taught through a trauma-informed lens.
A great emphasis is placed on the teaching of embodiment, somatics, and the development of your presence in the teacher-client relationship. Through my years as a Somatic Psychotherapist and Coach with individuals, I bring a wealth of information and expertise in mind-body integration and embodiment to make this training unique.
This Training Is Designed To:
Further develop your eye, voice, touch and intention in working both individually and in a class setting
Further develop your understanding of the Doshas/Koshas in restorative poses
Understand the Panchamaya Model in Yoga Therapy
Develop dynamic use of props to address individual needs/special populations
Learn to effectively work 1:1 with students developing individualized sequences based on need
Learn therapeutic sequences to address mind/body connection, anxiety, depression, and stress reduction and nervous system regulation
Learn proper boundaries and ethics to work in a trauma-informed way
Learn therapeutic poses to target different organ systems
Deepen presence with a client and effective communication
Requirements:
In addition to the group training, students will be required to complete an at home project which consists of working with a client 1:1 for 6 weeks. This is a required project for final certification.
In order to participate in the Level 2 Restorative Teacher Training, you must have completed a general Restorative Yoga training with me or another teacher.
