This course is designed to provide explanations and explorations to set up the key components to health.

More specifically, the program is broken down into four main modules, each providing complementary information as to the fundamentals of a healthy yoga practice, and a healthy lifestyle.

Watch the video explaining the Course Breakdown

• 8 weekends yoga therapeutics training:

Eight weekend modules and related homework, as described above

• 35 hours workshops:

Choose from the vast selection of continuing education workshops at re:source to expand the students’ knowledge in a field of interest and work towards engaging in a specialization.

• 30 hours case study:

Students chose a topic of choice to apply the theory, practice and tools learned during training to a specific health issue. These hours are to be completed on the students’ own time.

• 18 hours clinical training:

The case study clients are given private sessions with the lead E-RYT as the student observes. This time allows them to ask questions and gain insight on the therapeutic approach.

• Final Evaluation:

Final Presentation within class times; a 30 minute presentation on the chosen case study thesis

• Final Exam by appointment:

Instruct a private session to one of the case study clients, under the supervision of the lead E-RYT, followed by a review and evaluation of all assignments and course work throughout the program.

The Body in Science Module

Consists of learning of western biomedical science and its application to health. This module includes anatomy, alignment & posture correction, physiology, immunology, and the interplay of all these simultaneously.
See website for more info.

The Body in Yoga Module

Explains the body via a yogic perspective, which includes a holistic understanding of all topics covered in module 1, and includes the role of the mind, and the influence it plays on the body. In this module, students will learn more about breathing
techniques, meditation techniques, the role of the chakras, doshas, koshas, and vayus, how they relate to common physiologic functions, and their role in health as a whole.

Therapeutic Benefits of Yoga Techniques

Having explored the components of health separately, students can now learn to piece them together to meet the needs of each person. In this module, students will practice sequences, adaptations, applications, and long term planning for a
therapeutic program.

Integrating for Being & Teaching

One can teach best from experience. During this module students will have the opportunity to embody what has been learned in the course. Elements of bodywork, vocalization, and other branches of yoga therapeutics will be explored.
As education is central to yoga therapeutics, students will get a chance explain and teach what has been learned. During this module, students will have practice case studies, as well as share their final presentation, which includes leading the class
through a practice.

Evaluation will be based on the student’s participation, punctuality, and presence.
There will be 2 formal homework assignments to be handed in, as well as other “informal” homework assignments assigned at the end of each module. Moreover, each student is to prepare a final presentation, on the topic of their choice, to be presented during the last module.

The Final Exam is to be done only once all the other course criteria have been fulfilled.

To book your exam, contact carina@resourceyoga.com and plan for a 3hour time slot during which:

• The trainee leads a private Yoga Therapy session of 60-75 mins to a client. The client of choice is one who has symptoms which correspond to the case study theme.
• Carina, or a mentor, will observe the private session.
• Following the private session, there will be a short debrief where the trainee will explain the approach, rationale and understanding that was used for the session.
• A similar approach will be used to discuss all the case studies. The trainee is to prepare and bring one “final report sheet” (found in the course manual) per case study subject. The trainee should be prepared to explain the common needs of the subjects they have worked with, as well as specific challenges presented by each; the strategy used to resolve the problem, the tools used to teach and treat, the benefits acquired, as well as suggest the next steps to address should these case study subjects become a returning clientele.
• Homework #1 & Homework #2 will be corrected and discussed.
• Feedback on the Final Presentation will be shared, and the Final Report handed back with corrections.
• The trainee will explain what he/she has learnt in the 35 hours of workshops and how they are complimentary to what was learnt in the training.
• Any other questions or concerns will be addressed.
