What is unique about the Inner Vision Yoga HEY Therapy Teacher Training?

The focus of the Healing Emphasis Yoga (HEY) Therapy Training is on consciousness and self concept.  Put another way, you can learn all the asana and anatomy in the world, but if you do not change your consciousness or the concept of who you are, your habits will still reign.  This is yoga therapy in its most original sense – consciously connecting back to the original I AM present in each and every one of us.

We cannot heal another.  All true healing takes place by an act of Grace and the ascension into another state of vibration or Living that embodies a rebirth beyond the past unconscious self.  Healing Emphasis Yoga (HEY) works by rooting out false self-concepts and resolving them back to their source. This multidimensional approach to true healing arises from a deeper self-awareness and the effects that our thoughts, words and actions have on our physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual being.  As a HEY Therapist, you’ll learn to access and walk this path beyond identification with samskara and the unconscious mind in your own life, and, if you so desire, apply your direct experience to help and guide others who are ready to make the same journey into integration and healing awareness.  All of this is in addition to a wonderfully unique course of study in asana and somatic therapeutics that offer you many different tools to help yourself or anyone else access the healing power within.

HEY Therapy Objectives

1) Help realize tendencies and root causes beyond surface symptoms for pain and disease within the self and others.

2) Establish treatments, practices and approaches that address root causes to current effects.

3) To create optimum opportunities for true and lasting healing by accessing afflicting subconscious beliefsystems (klesha-based) and unconscious self-concepts with compassion and awareness.

4) To know how the physical body functions anatomically, physiologically, energetically and spiritually in relation to self-identity through consistent inner-focus and use this knowledge to teach a yoga class with a general or specific healing emphasis serving a group or an individual.

5) To develop a holistic comprehensive assessment and healing plan for self and clients based on the idea that ‘understanding’ and rationalization is less important than healing and surrendering into our true healing path.

6) To experience all events as part of the Grace-filled, mysterious path of healing and enlightenment with realization that the world exists to help us heal and be free.

7) To recognize, understand, and implement the teachings of yoga on the path of healing as it may relate to other beliefs or understandings of illness and suffering.

The Teachings of Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapy

This is a journey of personal transformation as well as healing on an individual level so that you may share this opportunity with others from direct experience.   Because of this we work at a pace that allows for integration and living hat you practice.  The program may take up to two full years to complete. Offered in a series of 15-17 workshops (a few longer workshops may be broken into two different workshops), this program guides you in a hands-on fashion to become your own teacher, healer, and master.  From this knowing, you may then train others to find the same ability within themselves.

HEY Therapy unites the inherent wisdom of the body and the perfect order of nature with our highest consciousness.  With intentional use of dharana (concentration), we are then able to live full and magnificent lives that take us beyond habit and its resulting karma.  HEY Therapy Teacher Training is a cultivation of faith beyond knowing, a trusting in your own path as a light for yourself and all those you come into contact with.
