Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapy Curriculum

Discover the next dimension in your yoga teaching: Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapy.

The Healing Emphasis Yoga™ (HEY) Therapy Training program is designed to address the heart and soul of healing for yourself and your clients.  The focus of the 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.

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

nata12

The yoga therapy components of our course(s) are based on the latest scientific studies, over 20 years direct experience in the field of holistic health and the use of yoga as a therapeutic healing modality, as well as years of study and applied teaching at the intersection point of somatic healing, advanced kinesiology, spiritual psychology, and Patanjali’s approach to “yoga therapy” which centers on changing your self-concept and self-identity.

By yourself, you 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.

HEY Therapy Objectives

Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapy program guides you 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 in order to create lasting change.  The main objectives of Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapy are:

1) To know how the physical body functions anatomically, physiologically, energetically and spiritually in relation to self-identity through consistent inner focus.

2) To realize afflicting subconscious belief-systems and unconscious self-concepts that lead to pain and disease within the self and others.

3) Create optimum opportunities for true and lasting healing by recognizing the treatments, practices and approaches that emphasize a “healing feeling” that speaks to the body and changes life on a cellular, thinking and feeling level.

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.
