The SSYT’s 18 month  (200 hour) course is for qualified yoga teachers to gain confidence in assessing and working with individual clients from a yoga therapy perspective and to implement yoga therapy safely and in accordance with professional codes of practice. The course is intended to facilitate participants ability to develop a personal, holistic style and to devise yoga therapy programmes for each individual client’s needs.

Yvonne and Melanie will be the main tutors on the weekends. They are experienced yoga teachers,  yoga therapists and have training and experience in other psychological and body based therapies. Anatomy and Physiology will be delivered as online sessions.  Other visiting tutors, experienced in their specialised fields or working with groups of people with specific conditions, will join us on some of the weekends.

The framework of the koshas plus yoga’s subtle energy systems and working with the individual form the basis of the course, alongside deepening one’s own practice and awareness.

The course is a 200 hour course over 18 months.  It is made up of 180 contact hours and 45 non-contact hours (225 hours).  This includes case studies (24 hours), anatomy and physiology (18 hours) and writing up of final assignment.  It does not include your own practice and development which we would expect you to maintain.
