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

  • Spiritual Formation for a healer's vocation

Graduates are prepared to provide compassionate, holistic support to individuals navigating complex health challenges.

Pursue a healer’s vocation, where your call, faith, and equipping transform your clients' quality of life!

Our Mission

At Living Soul Institute we take a “let it begin with me,” holistic, Christ-centered approach to experiencing transformation from the inside out. We aim to Educate, Equip, and Empower yoga therapists to support clients with wisdom, compassion, and professionalism.
