Touch-Free Techniques of Yoga Therapy
"Immediately relevant, useful, and applicable."
"Bridges the gap between Yoga and Psychology."
"Science of Yoga and Energy."
Discover an innovative approach to Yoga Therapy through this comprehensive 40-hour self-paced certification training with Kamini Desai, PhD. Designed to bridge ancient yogic wisdom with practical therapeutic application, this course provides immediately useful, body-based techniques to support emotional integration, self-actualization, and healing—without the need for physical touch.
Learn specific touch-free Yoga Therapy techniques that help release trapped psychosomatic patterns and support the body's innate healing potential. Presented in an accessible and practical format, this training combines esoteric understandings of energy with evidence-informed facilitation tools that can be integrated into a variety of professional settings.
These body-based facilitation and coaching techniques may be used in private sessions, group settings, online environments, or integrated into existing practices such as yoga teaching, life coaching, psychotherapy, counseling, bodywork, and other healing professions. In addition to powerful facilitation skills, you will learn how to guide yoga-based interventions that support the release and re-patterning of unhelpful physical, emotional, and mental conditioning.
Support yourself and others in reducing symptoms, improving function, and cultivating wellbeing—not only from the outside in, but from the inside out.
This training is especially effective in an online format and includes opportunities to develop practical skills that are ideal for virtual sessions and situations where touch may not be appropriate or possible.
The program includes a comprehensive digital training manual and reference videos to support your continued learning and application.
Yoga Therapy I may be taken as a standalone training or applied toward Yoga Therapy II, where you will learn hands-on Yoga Therapy techniques.
