Program Description
The Therapeutic Yoga Training Program, taught by Cheri Clampett and Arturo Peal, began in 1998 as a continuing education course to teach registered nurses, yoga teachers, doctors and other health care professionals how to integrate therapeutic yoga into their professions. Therapeutic Yoga is a carefully designed collection of restorative yoga, gentle yoga, breath work, guided meditation, and hands-on healing techniques.
CurriculumOur 35-hour course is Yoga Alliance-certified and approved for Acupuncture (35 hours) and Nursing CEU hours (21.5 contact hours/CA). The course shows how to integrate various yoga-based healing modalities into a system well-suited for helping individuals recovering from injury or illness. These techniques help bring the various systems within the body into balance, and help produce a state of mind that is greatly conducive to the healing process. The techniques and information taught include:
- physiology of stress and relaxation
- restorative yoga poses and theory
- guidelines for sequencing yoga poses
- anatomy as it applies to yoga
- implications of scar tissue and adhesions
- gentle yoga
- breath work
- guided meditation
- hands-on adjustments
- hands-on healing techniques
The techniques are taught in a modular fashion so that the training participant can implement them as a complementary element to their current skill set. For nurses it may be incorporating breathing techniques with a patient. For physical therapists it may be working with patients with severe mobility restrictions. For yoga teachers, it may be adapting their class to those students recovering from an injury.
