IAYT Yoga Therapist Certification

Give the gift of yogic transformation!  That's what yoga therapists do.

Learn therapeutic yoga poses that provide immediate improvement in your body, mind and heart. This happens through the soft power of spinal release, Svaroopa^® yoga’s specialty.

Soft power means that these poses are powerful, yet the approach is easy and accessible to all. No sweat required. No pushing or straining.

The inner openings come from pose angles that target and dissolve deep spinal tensions. Every chiropractor and osteopath understands this, but with Svaroopa^® yoga, you can do it for yourself. And you can teach it to others.

As a Yoga Therapist, you are empowered to teach therapeutic group classes and provide personalized yoga therapy sessions. You can do this as an entrepeneur or in a yoga center, medical or healing center. Your Certification with IAYT is an important part of your credentials.
