EYT Level I

This yoga therapy training course is an 18 day intensive created for yoga teachers and experienced yoga practitioners. It demonstrates, through interactive lectures and practices, how we can use an understanding of the Nature of the Elements to make yoga practices beneficial for personal and community health issues, and is delivered with a language that plugs us back into to observing, respecting and worshiping the Nature both around and within us.

The Elemental Yoga Therapy training course is designed to transform a yoga teacher into a yoga therapist, by learning how to choose the asana sequences, pranayamas, diet, meditations, mudras and mantras that help their students engage directly with whatever combination of the 5 forces is causing them obstacles. It is based in the understanding that yoga seeks to dissolve the 5 elements, and helps us to see where those elements are in action in the whole being - the physical, physiological, psychological, psychic, and spiritual being.

Split into two Levels for 300 hrs of study, this first 150 hour yoga therapy training takes place in a beautiful and supportive live-in ashram environment, the 2nd Level of yoga therapy training, also offered as 150 hours, takes place as an intensive live-in Student based Clinic, and is fundamental to our aim to provide communities with progressive, and talented Yoga Therapists.

In Level I, the yoga therapy students are encouraged to explore their own Elemental balances, and to enter into a series of daily practices to fully feel the way the elements are moving through them. For this reason, experienced yogis who are not yoga teachers can also benefit from the yoga therapy training course. It is a self-development program as much as it is an integral educational opportunity.

An emphasis is placed on holistic counseling, and through the different systems of diagnostics and the skills of elemental based communication, you will learn how to hear the dynamic state of being that is at the root of many common symptoms. It is from this process that you can confidently create practices to control and support the way the Elements are balanced.

The full course curriculum includes lectures and guidance on:

5 Element Theory
Elemental Counseling
Diagnosis and Sequencing
Modern Health Conditions
Holistic Food as Medicine
Subtle Anatomy

With the daily focus on Elemental Yoga practices, we also will explore Free Movement sessions (in the forms of Ecstatic Dance and the 5 Rhythms), and we will be winding down with walks, beach swims, and the entertainment of film nights and Kirtan ceremony.

The Elemental Yoga Therapy course is a unique way to look at yoga and its history shows it to be a very successful system. We will ensure it is taught in an environment that is appropriate to your level personal or professional inquiry.
