Building on the teachings of Krishnamacharya
In this professional program on yoga therapy, we aim to bring you the most effective aspects of traditional yoga and ayurveda combined with the discoveries of modern science. We have designed this program especially for yoga teachers and advanced practitioners, but it should also be of interest to people from related fields. Specific guidelines for different conditions and general treatment principles will be detailed, empowering you to safely and effectively address disabilities and ill-health through yoga. The goal is to enable participants to integrate newly acquired knowledge immediately in their teaching, particularly in private sessions.
