What is a Yoga Therapist?

Living Soul Yoga Therapy Training

More people are turning to yoga therapy as a caring, whole-person approach to healing the mind, body, and soul. It offers support for chronic pain, stress, trauma, and long-term conditions, and growing research continues to show science-backed benefits. This is why many in the mental health and medical field now recommend yoga therapy as a meaningful complement to traditional care.

At Living Soul, we embrace yoga therapy as a path toward whole-person wellness. Our program brings together the bio-psychosocial-spiritual model of health with a Christian perspective, while welcoming and serving people from every belief system.

This training includes modules on:

Trauma & the Nervous System
Women's Health
Chronic illness & Autoimmune conditions
Eating disorders
Grief
Addiction
Ayurvedic principles
Cancer, heart disease & neurological disorders

Insomnia & circadian rhythm disorders
Fascia & lymphatic health
Yoga Nidra
Sound therapy
Working with veterans & first responders
Working with couples
Logistics & Business of practicing yoga therapy
