INTEGRATION COURSE | Applied Therapeutic Yoga: Experiential Anatomy, Somatic Inquiry, and the Koshas

This Integration Course will focus on attaining the state of Yoga by cultivating interoceptive awareness through somatic inquiry, bridging the gap between yoga theory and therapeutic application. We will explore experiential anatomy and other embodiment skills that support living a life expressing wholeness and integrating the deeper teachings of the Yoga tradition.

Learn the why behind therapeutic yoga practices for common conditions and the how of designing powerful classes using a four-step teaching model

Over the duration of the course, your evolving personal practice will further your growth as a yoga educator, equipping you with the skills to help students regulate their nervous system and develop agency in their own growth and evolution. 

Our cohort meetings will balance structured learning with the flexibility to address issues or questions as they arise. Each session will deepen, expand and integrate your understanding of material covered in earlier course modules. Together, we will create a supportive environment that models the pedagogical principles you will carry into your teaching: moving beyond rote repetition to teach transferable principles and skills; the teacher as guide or facilitator; empowering students to develop agency, and the encouragement of self-realization.

By the end of this Integration Course you will be able to:

  • Teach therapeutic yoga for common conditions from a science and somatically based, self-inquiry perspective to foster student agency, resilience, and whole person coherence.
  • Guide experiential anatomy inquiries to deepen a felt sense of anatomical structures and relationships, helping students explore the laboratory of their own body and integrate embodied awareness therapeutically into movement and daily life.
  • Educate students to navigate all koshic levels to establish true health (svastha) and to live from a place of wholeness.
  • Teach anatomically informed cues to enrich yoga practices through safe and intelligent alignment and movement choices, prevent injury, and address common structural imbalances.
  • Incorporate the kosha model and yoga philosophy when working therapeutically with students experiencing common musculoskeletal, physiological, and psychological conditions.
  • Prioritise state over shape by deepening students’ interoceptive awareness to help them develop skills and cultivate inner states rather than achieving postures.
  • Confidently articulate the science validating a somatically based approach that facilitates interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness for balanced living and whole person healing.
  • Refine intake skills including observation of structural, movement and breath patterns to support designing potent classes and offering intelligent modifications to yoga practices.
  • Draw on learned principles and yoga philosophy to plan transformative classes based on a four-step process of nervous system regulation, alignment and movement repatterning, and integration of new skills into movement practice and daily life.
