Question 2

What Are The Benefits To This Type Of Training?

Accepted Answer

SPECIFICITY:  This training is intended to educate the medical and clinical community and the populations they serve.   Rather than focusing on adult gymnastics, our training is about the underpinnings of yoga and the subtle movement that almost anybody can perform.   We offer the specific movement therapists would need such as chair yoga, trauma sensitive movement, teaching clients to use appropriate breathing techniques outside of their appointments and using meditation to overcome compassion fatigue for the therapists. MINIMUM TIME FOR MAXIMUM  EDUCATION:  The online training allows accelerated education.  I’ve facilitated yoga teacher trainings for more than 12 years and held 200 – 500 hour trainings.  This training is my 500 Hour Training and allows for the maximum amount of training in the most condensed time frame.

Question 3

Will I Have The Ability To Teach A Yoga Class Outside Of Clinical Practice?

Accepted Answer

All students who follow the curriculum, complete the online content with the training manual and attend contact hours of training will have an exceptional understanding of yoga and be more than prepared to teach a public yoga class as well private sessions to their clients.    This clinical training I have developed is the same training that many of the leading teachers along the Wasatch front have taken from me and gone on to become exceptional teachers in their field.   The addition to this training is the accent on trauma, mindfulness for therapists and chair yoga.

Question 8

Does This Mean I Will Be A Registerd RYT Yoga Teacher?

Accepted Answer

This training is not intended to become a RYT yoga teacher. This may be a lengthy explanation, but this is why: I have had both a 200 hour RYT school and a 500 hour school and am registered at the highest level of E-RYT500 and YACEP. It’s important to understand why Clinical Yoga Institute is not making this training RYT and why we've moved away from RYT.   RYT:   although helpful for its time, the registry with RYT is simply that, a registry. It’s comparable to being on a registry for a personal trainer or a business coach. It means that a person has taken a training and can be very helpful, but is not the same credentials as being overseen by state laws and regulations to ensure the quality of the services and integrity provided.  They also have an issue with enforcement around ethics. Many teachers have been in the media with transgressions (rape charges) and their RYT status has never been affected.  They have had newspaper articles and police reports on a teacher in Utah that several teachers have called RYT about, and nothing is being done.

RYT is a registry with limited value to you and is not a governing agency in any state in the US.  They've done a great job positioning themselves to look like they are, but they are more like a bridal registry than research driven governing agency.   Upon completing the Clinical Yoga Training you will become a CYP-500,  Clinical Yoga Practitioner 500 hr with trauma sensitive training.  We will provide a number of things that will set CYP apart – such as ongoing training – access to our research based results, including the recent results from Utah State University's IRB research project in conjunction with our company.  You will also be a CYT (Certified Yoga Teacher) through Clinical Yoga Institute as we will provide a certification.
