​“The teacher training through yogajoy
was more than I could have ever anticipated.
The program is so rich, engaging, and delivered with
wisdom and compassion. For me it was a life altering choice,
I have deepened my own practice and have become
more skilled as a teacher, and I will add,
​a more skilled human being."

- Graduate, LCSW

​“Excellent grounding in the principles of yoga, with the yoga sutras and the gita as a foundation, enhanced by contemporary brain science. The trainings deeply enhanced my ability to be helpful to clients on their journeys of self discovery and transformation."

140-hour Certificate Course for
​Mental Health Providers and Wellness Professionals

Yoga psychology addresses all symptoms from a multidimensional and profoundly compassionate perspective.  We learn to understand and respond to our personal experience of both our human conditioning, which, when misunderstood, is prone to suffering; and our human potential, which, when understood, is capable of love, generosity, kindness, and equanimity.

​The tools of yoga help clients to learn about and relate to their symptoms, imbalances, injuries, or life-events as opportunities for self-discovery and for inspiring the process of transformation from illness to vitality, from limitation to capacity, or from disintegration to re-integration.
​

• Would like to weave yogic principles into your practice with clients?
• Are you curious about how yoga promotes psychological, physical and spiritual vitality?
• ​Do you seek self-care strategies to assist in your own professional grounding + longevity?
