Yoga Psychology Certification (100-Hour IAYT-Approved Continuing Education)
This 100-hour advanced certification bridges the wisdom of yoga, Ayurveda, and modern psychology to illuminate the inner pathways of healing. Designed for yoga therapists, teachers, and wellness professionals, this training explores how the subtle body, mind, and nervous system interact to shape mood, behavior, and resilience.
You’ll begin with our foundational studies—Chakraology: Subtle Body Anatomy and Tantra and Somatic Movement—building an experiential understanding of energy anatomy, embodiment, and emotional flow. Then, deepen your study through the core modules Yoga Therapy and Mood, Yoga Therapy and Trauma, and Yoga Therapy and Addiction, where ancient philosophy meets modern neuroscience.
Drawing from Dani McGuire’s book The Path of Joyful Living, you’ll explore practical tools and reflective exercises that integrate the psychology of yoga with real-life transformation. You’ll learn how trauma and emotion live in the body, how to regulate the nervous system through breath and awareness, and how to work sensitively within the somatic landscape of yoga therapy.
By the end of this program, you’ll gain the skills and insight to guide others toward balance, joy, and self-awareness—bridging ancient wisdom and modern science in service of deep psychological and spiritual healing.
