GRP1: Yoga Therapy for Groups (Prerequisites: KM1, KM2)

$210.00

In this course, students will come to understand and appreciate the dynamics and mechanics of working safely and effectively with yoga therapeutic tools for groups and cohorts. We will explore how to approach work with couples, families and affiliated groups and communities. We address how to adapt the intake process to a group yoga therapy class setting and how to design yoga therapy programs for groups. Students will learn how to create agreements, facilitate courageous conversations, and approach strategies and interventions with a group centered lens. Group process helps us move toward health and well-being through reflection, containment, and group consciousness. This course will draw on mindfulness, contemplative self-inquiry practices as well as explore transformative techniques from Yoga, Embodied Movement and group work from the world's traditions (namely from the Americas). Students will learn to work with people in diverse settings with an awareness of diversity and an ability to do deep relational work with others.
