Program Overview
Viniyoga Therapist Training
A Living Healing Tradition.
The AVI Viniyoga™ Therapist Training Program is a clinical training program that educates experienced yoga teachers about the application of the theory, frameworks and tools of yoga for individuals and groups of people with health conditions.
In addition to clinical skills, the AVI Viniyoga™ Therapist Training Program emphasizes the continuing personal development of the Viniyoga™ Therapist in the area of personal practice.
The goal of Viniyoga™ Therapy is to empower individuals facing health conditions (at any level) to use the tools of Yoga to improve health and well being. Viniyoga™ Therapy is a complementary or alternative treatment modality.
The settings of practice for Viniyoga™ Therapists include private practice, Yoga schools, community settings and the Western healthcare system settings.
The content of the Viniyoga Therapist Training builds on the theory and methods included in the former AVI Viniyoga™ Teacher Training Program, the current Viniyoga Foundations Program or the AVI Foundation for Yoga Therapy Program.
To register for this program, you must be one of the following:
- an AVI Certified Viniyoga Teacher, or
- graduate of the AVI Foundation for Yoga Therapy Training, or
- graduate of the Viniyoga Foundations Program for Teaching and Yoga Therapy Training.
Some exceptions may be considered from experienced 500 hour Registered Yoga Teachers who have been trained in the Desikachar/Krishnamacharya lineage. To find out more about an exception procedure, please contact our Student Advisor at studentadvisor@viniyoga.com.
