Therapeutic Yoga Teaching, Clinical Service, and Practice
An innovative 3-book series, Therapeutic Yoga Teaching, Clinical Service, and Practice, is written for yoga teacher and therapeutic yoga training programs, individuals seeking yoga teacher credentials, yoga teachers who seek to transform their current teaching to become more therapeutic and person-centered, dedicated yoga practitioners who want to deepen and tailor their personal practice, and healthcare providers seeking to integrate yoga therapeutics into their clinical practice.
The series, in conjunction with Therapeutic Breathwork, is an excellent resource for yoga teacher training programs, carefully designed to exceed educational contents and standards required by Yoga Alliance, the association that registers yoga schools, programs, and teachers internationally. It augment current yoga teachers’ training by offering a unique therapeutic lens that allows yoga professionals to broaden their yoga teaching skills and understanding to serve populations of students and clients in community health settings and healthcare systems. The volumes in the series are an invaluable resource for healthcare practitioners who hope to integrate therapeutic yoga strategies into their extant clinical practice. They provide an in-depth exploration of how therapeutic yoga can serve patients in healthcare and mental health care and how it can be infused in clinical service delivery. The series is also appropriate for advanced yoga practitioners who seek to refine their yoga practice to be more person-centered, relevant to their unique biopsychosociocultural context, and tailored to their specific physical, vital, emotional, mental, behavioral, and relational needs.
