Available to be attended face to face or via online recordings.Learn from Leanne Davis how to structure the delivery of seeing a client, taking an entire client history and assessment. You will study yoga therapy course planning and sequencing throughout this foundational course under the traditional viniyoga therapy model.
Leanne Davis (Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture) has spent 40 years continuously working and studying in eastern health sciences, including internships and training in Chinese hospitals and yoga therapy centres in India. Leanne is a Member of the expert advisory panel for the Australian Government’s Natural Therapies Review, a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) certification committee, a member of the council for teachers for Yoga New Zealand, a council of advisor with Yoga Australia and has 33 years of yoga teaching and private practice experience.
Over the duration of this whole four-day intensive, you will broaden your mind and understand the true origins of Yoga whilst also bringing this into a modern-day one-to-one or clinical setting. The course design offers you fundamental structure and complete confidence in your ability to develop programming as a yoga therapist, with a strong focus on course planning and sequencing for the individual. The course follows a structured and traditional healing paradigm, teaching you how to deliver a Yoga therapy program with an ongoing review.
You will learn how to perform observation (Darshana), perform palpation (sparshana), questioning (Prashna), touch (Sparshana), including basic pulse assessment, (Nadi Vignan).
Over the duration of your training, you will come to understand the appropriate application of Heyam, Hetu, Hanam and Upayam on various levels and dimensions: exploring the root cause of the problem (Heyam-Hetu) before deciding collaboratively what the goal of the practice is (Hanum) and what the actual Yoga therapy practice (Upayam).
Yoga Therapy is defined by the governing body, Yoga Australia, as ‘the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through applying the teachings and practices of Yoga.’
We highly encourage you to embark upon this long-held traditional form of healing.
This four-day course is compulsory for all students studying Biyome’s Yoga Therapy Training and is delivered either via online recordings or Face to Face.
Yoga Therapy Foundational Training is for everyone wanting to take their yoga teaching further or for those who wish to become yoga therapists.
