This is a four week residential course for certificated yoga teachers. The course aims towards a basic understanding and integration of yoga therapy. It consists of the application of yogic principles, methods and techniques for specific human ailments. By the end of this course students will have sound practical and theoretical knowledge and confidence for healing and handling the different diseases and general ill health plaguing humanity today.

Yoga therapy is based upon the ancient Indian traditional belief about human Existence. According to this philosophy, human existence is comprised of five layers called Pancha kosha.

Yoga therapy cultivates total body-mind integration and has very specific techniques for each of the five koshas, helping to balance and integrate them. Yoga therapy is applicable to a great variety of increasingly common modern day conditions such as Back pain, Asthma, Heart diseases, Spondylitis, Migraine, Anxiety, Depression etc. This is something that western medicine in all its advances, has been unable to achieve; serving to treat symptoms only, but not the underlying or root cause of the disease. Comparatively, the practice of yoga delves deep down throughout all the layers to finally reach the root cause of the disease process. It is only from this place that true physical, mental and emotional healing can begin to take place. The result of successful yoga therapy is the fully balanced personality, totally free from diseases and ill health.

Upon successful completion of the course, each student will receive a diploma in their area of study. Our diploma is a highly valued and internationally recognized certification presented by International Vasishta Yoga Research Foundation.
