Yoga Therapy Training  

Yoga therapy training is a specialized field of therapeutic training.



It calls for a lot of time, in fact, years and years of dedicated effort. There is a rather dichotomous belief – anyone can become a Yoga therapist while not every Tom, Dick and Harry can become a Yoga therapist.

Basically, to become a qualified Yoga therapist one has to understand three things: Yoga, the human anatomy and the anatomy of disease. After practising Yoga for many years, the aspirant is able to undergo an ordinary Yoga Teacher’s Training course.



This is mandatory. It is advisable to practise for a few years and then take an Advanced Teacher’s Training course, preferably from the same institution or center. Thereafter, the aspirant practises for a few years at least.





Fortunately there is no dearth of opportunities anywhere in the world today. Our society abounds with opportunities as it does with disease and ailment. And, having done the rounds of doctors and therapists, eventually most people all over the world are turning to Yoga. They visit Yoga institutes and studios for alternative healing. Working with these people will give you wide exposure to all three of the above requisites for becoming a Yoga therapist.

Side by side it is advisable to read up on human anatomy and the advances made by the Yoga fraternity in treating ailments. The Internet abounds with sites offering a host of remedies for almost all ailments from Acne to Zits. Then again, it is better to get your training at a Yoga institute or center. Even better, get trained for a while under a Medical practitioner who has turned to Yoga. Again, there is no dearth of such professionals. Finally, the aspirant is ready to undergo a Yoga therapist’s teacher training course. In such courses 3 things are taught as mandatory: anatomy of the human body, anatomy of illnesses and Yoga therapy for ailments.
