When people envision yoga, they often focus on the physical benefits, but the effects of yoga actually delve much deeper into each person's subtle energetic body. There are many layers to this subtle body of energy in yoga philosophy that flows throughout each being. By understanding the many components of this subtle body, such as Gunas, Koshas, Chakras and Nadis, we can also begin to understand ourself on a deeper level.

As we develop this connection to energy and the individual consciousness, the process ultimately leads to the realization of the deep interconnection between every being in this world. So, let's dive in to begin an exploration of these various layers of the energetic or subtle body that lead us to the soul within.

Yoga Therapeutics Yoga Training for the Upper Body with Amy Ippoliti - 23hrs

Calling all yoga teachers!

This dynamic, intimate 3-day yoga teacher training will provide you with therapeutic knowledge and core competency  that will set you apart from the norm. 

Are you feeling lost when it comes to handling injuries and giving the right modifications as a yoga teacher?

Are you scared of accidentally making things worse, so you hesitate to help students through certain poses?

Do you struggle in mixed level yoga classes to find a balance between meeting the needs of injured students while keeping the rest of the class engaged?

Do you find it challenging to communicate with injured students, understand their limits, and gain their trust as a yoga teacher? Need tips on effective guidance and modifications?

Are you feeling the squeeze of time constraints and the pressure to keep the class going while caring for an injured student?

Do you get emotional seeing students in pain – overflowing with empathy, but unsure how to provide the right support?

We totally get it! That's why we're here to help. 


In this training you will:

  • Gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to handle student injuries and limitations in your yoga classes!

  • Learn to create a safe, inclusive yoga environment that puts student well-being first and supports your growth as a teacher. 

  • Practice the Vesselify School of Yoga’s method that offers a deep and efficacious approach to asana practice with the goal of enhancing what it means to be in a body.

  • Receive the tools to stand out as a teacher who can speak to many populations, effectively address student’s physical limitations, and provide compassionate solutions for students with lower body challenges. 

  • AND you will walk away with tools to confidently teach full yoga group classes as well as private yoga sessions with more empathy, expert skills, and courage.

As athletic yoga classes are becoming the industry norm, safety and individualized attention are becoming less and less emphasized in many yoga classes.

Through intelligent body mechanics, structural integrity, and a workable understanding of anatomy, we aim to make yoga accessible to all those who wish to benefit from this extraordinary practice!


Course Objectives:

  • Embody proper alignment for sun salutations, standing poses, seated poses, backbends, chest, and quad opening poses

  • Refine and understand the power of observation and accountability in the yoga classroom.

  • Examine common musculoskeletal injuries and biomechanical problems affecting the shoulders, neck, elbows, wrists, and hands

  • Review common conditions such as tendonitis, ligament or cartilage damage, repetitive stress injuries, sprains, disc damage, muscle spasms, and more

  • Learn how to demonstrate with empathy 

  • Mastery of variations to create inclusive, accessible yoga classes that help clear and resolve common challenges.

  • Therapeutic hands-on assists that relieve discomfort

  • Therapy Lab - watch Amy work therapeutically with real people brought in from the local community


Asana Practices: 

  • Daily mat time will be tailored to postural integrity and form into your own body while learning tools to teach others the same.

This course is a complementary module with  Yoga Therapeutics Yoga Teacher Training for the Lower Body and can be taken independently or in tandem.

payment plans available for limited time ONLY

Welcome to India! You will be met by our tour guides in the arrival area of the airport after we clear all immigration and customs formalities. Depart for our hotel where we will check in for our overnight stay. 

Delhi stands as the capital of Modern India. Here we can see the mingling of the Old and New India, the ancient and the modern. Delhi is made up of seven ancient cities, spanning the period from the 11th to 21st centuries. Delhi has seen the rise and fall of many emperors, which has left behind a plethora of monuments that commemorate the grandeur and glory of bygone ages. Very few cities in the world can express such a profusion of architectural styles. Rest of the day is free for independent activities.

  • Accommodation: Suryaa hotel in New Delhi

Day 2 | Sunday - March 10th, 2024

We’ll start with breakfast at the hotel, then we will enjoy a special food tour along with a city tour of Old Delhi and in the afternoon visit New Delhi.

Explore a culinary experience curated and lead by a chef in Old Delhi .

The Art of Teaching Restorative Yoga with Amy Ippoliti

“When you press the pause button on a machine, it stops. But when you press the pause button on human beings they start. You start to reflect, you start to rethink your assumptions, you start to reimagine what is possible and, most importantly, you start to reconnect with your most deeply held beliefs. Once you’ve done that, you can begin to reimagine a better path.”
— Dov Seidman

How’s your nervous system handling these challenging times?

Are you experiencing anxiety? Distraction? Overstimulation from the feed? 

Do you feel pressured, like your work is never done?

Are you a yoga teacher or wellness practitioner who wants to respond to the increased demand for restful education that regulates the nervous system? 

We’re right there with you, and we get it!

Pausing long enough to reflect and listen to your innermost self and carving out time for rest these days is a radical act.

We all know that chronic stress has consequences to your health and well being – contributing to heart disease, hormone disruption, poor gut health, emotional instability, lack of quality sleep, anxiety, depression, and more. 

The term “dysregulated nervous system” is now a buzzword for burnt out, anxious, and unwell.

In today’s relentless, smart phone-addicted world, being skilled in your own practice of Restorative yoga and being able to offer it to your students (both in group and private settings) is so essential to honoring the body’s natural rhythms and need for rest!

It’s no surprise then that Restorative yoga has exploded in popularity in recent years and that's exactly why we’re offering this important training: The Art of Teaching Restorative Yoga. 


Why Restorative Yoga?

Even if we sleep through the night, we rarely make time to really rest. And let’s face it - most yoga classes these days are depriving students of the quintessential restorative posture, savasana! Our students are craving deep relaxation, but don’t necessarily know where to turn to get the rest their body, mind, and spirit needs.

 

Who is this training for?

  • Curious students who want to deepen their personal practice and mitigate chronic anxiety

  • Yoga teachers wanting to respond to widespread student’s demand for yoga that includes rest and rejuvenation as a solution for chronic anxiety, as well as those who want to add more to their professional skills tool box and to acquire continuing education hours

  • Wellness practitioners who want to add Restorative yoga to their professional repertoire

IN THIS INFORMATIVE TRAINING, YOU WILL:

  • Learn to both practice Restorative yoga as well as the techniques needed to teach it

  • Downshift and regulate your nervous system through specific Restorative yoga postures 

  • Refine your understanding of props in supporting and modifying poses for different body types

  • How to create a proper prop arsenal for your private teaching practice

  • Learn about the physiology of relaxation

  • Explore multiple restorative poses for a myriad of different orthopedic and emotional outcomes

  • Discover special poses designed to help during menstruation, pregnancy and menopause

  • How to sequence and lead a group or private Restorative yoga class

  • Explore ways to enhance your private yoga lessons with Restorative yoga
