Adaptive Therapeutic: 15hr CEU

If one thing is true, it’s this: almost everyone comes to yoga for some kind of healing. We hear the success stories from friends, family, and healthcare providers—but as yoga teachers, do we truly understand how and why yoga can be so universally therapeutic? And more importantly: do we have the skills to support real bodies, real diagnoses, and real nervous systems—safely, confidently, and effectively?

This 15-hour Adaptive Therapeutic Yoga CEU is designed to give you the clinical-adjacent understanding yoga teachers crave: a practical, anatomy- and physiology-informed approach to adapting yoga for a wide range of needs. We’ll explore conditions such as traumatic brain injury, post-surgical recovery, scoliosis (and many more), breaking down:

• what’s happening in the body,

• what to watch for (and what to avoid),

• and why specific modifications, variations, props, and sequencing choices work for certain presentations.

You’ll leave with a toolbox of adaptable strategies you can use immediately in both group classes and private sessions, plus a framework for customizing yoga to the person in front of you—rather than forcing bodies to fit a “standard” pose.

We’ll also dive into the art and structure of teaching private yoga: how to assess needs, build intelligent sessions, communicate professionally, and apply therapeutic principles in a way that empowers clients to participate in their own healing.
