Heal the body based emotions that trigger the mind while earning CEUs
For Your Private Sessions
You'll be able to learn simple techniques to use during your private sessions with clients to help facilitate release of tension in muscles which, if left unaddressed, research is showing will retrigger mental states of imbalance. These moves are chair based for all levels of health.
For Your Group Sessions
You'll also receive sequences and learn how to teach group yoga classes for anxiety, trauma, depression, restoration of the mind and meditation. Often these classes are billable on a clients insurance. You will have the education to become an actual trauma sensitive yoga teacher for group classes in your community, in your clinic, or for the general public.
Secondary Trauma and Clinician Burnout
Our University Research Project
For years, the American Medical Association (AMA), NASW and other organizations have fought against the rising tide of physician and clinician burnout in medicine. A survey in the Annals of Internal Medicine in June of 2019 estimated that burnout costs the U.S. health care industry $4.6 billion every year. And then came COVID-19, clinicians working from home, lockdowns and civil unrest. Along with those additional challenges, trauma for behavioral health care professionals became a national health care crisis.
Many of our clinicians report teaching the CYI skills to their clients have helped with their own fatigue and secondary trauma. Some have begun scheduling their days around teaching more group yoga sessions for this reason.
Utah State University has attached an IRB approved research project to Clinical Yoga Institute to study the effects teaching the CYI methods has on the clinician. It's the first IRB research initiative of its kind in the US.
Coping with this unimaginable stress can be overwhelming. Adding yoga techniques taught by CYI to your therapy sessions can bring benefits to both the clinician and the client.

the worst is our willingness, or even our ability, to be vulnerable. There's a reclaiming that has to
happen in order to heal” ~
