​“Sarahjoy has the gift to bring her deep, broad knowledge to her students through her language, her voice, and her genuine, integrated self. As she often says: 'We are to be a vessel of all of our previous teachers.'
​It is indeed her art. She combines the western science beautifully with the ancient science of yoga."

OVERVIEW

​Are you a yoga teacher looking to incorporate therapeutic tools into your classes? Are you wanting to bring trauma-informed yoga into your current work? Would you like to widen your view, expand your toolkit, and feel more confident with a more diverse student population? Are you a mental health professional who would like to weave yogic principles into your practice with clients? Are you curious about how yoga promotes psychological, physical and spiritual vitality? Our training methodology develops each individual practitioner and creates a sense of community in the process. This is both a professional and personal journey. Who we become as Yoga Professionals relies both on what we bring to our training and development and the teachers, communities, and environments in which we study. As well, the depth of support, encouragement, compassion, and discerning input provided to each trainee is intentionally designed to nourish every participant to become the strongest, most clear, and most compassionate provider they can be. Graduates go on to develop their private practice, providing individual sessions for their students; as well as offering small group yoga series for therapeutic benefit to their students. This course prepares you to enter our IAYT 800-hr Yoga Therapy Training Program. Upon completion of the 300hr  YA Training, students can begin the 150-hours of Mentored Practicum that are required as part of the 800-hr IAYT Yoga Therapy Training. Students can begin their 800-hr  IAYT training at least 6 months after graduating from their 300hr YA Professional Yoga Training.   Please note: Graduates of our 300hr YA training are qualified to enter the 800hr IAYT program. Graduates of other 300hr training programs will need to apply and submit the curriculum training records (ie. transcripts) from their 300hr training program.
