In the yoga industry today, many more people are coming to class with injuries or issues, looking for a natural way to heal. It is important that instructors not just keep the person safe, but actually offer modifications and rehabilitation exercises that will help them in their quest for healing.
Our work is primarily grounded in yoga wisdom, which has informed many physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises for decades. We have now expanded our classes and courses to include rehabilitation and physiotherapy wisdom to provide a practical, wide reaching set of tools for yoga teachers to use to enhance whichever type of yoga they teach, and offer more options to their clients.
This 20 hour course is one of the first in-depth certifications for certified yoga teachers to:

Course content:
This course is for yoga teacher of all backgrounds, from the new teacher to the more experienced, eager to increase their knowledge and understanding of how to work with injured students and provide alternatives and modifications for safety and rehabilitation.
Most injury trainings are geared to the one-on-one private class setting and most teachers work with injured students one on one. However many people prefer the support of a group class, and to not feel “different” just because they have a physical issue, and many can not afford a private session. So we also wanted to support teachers in addressing injured students needs in a busy class setting.
We have been teaching injury modifications, as well as alignment protocols to students for 25-years and yoga teachers for 19 years. With 19 years' experience of running busy yoga studios and supporting students with injuries in class settings – we are well placed to help you increase your skills in how to effectively support injured students when they arrive in your class.
Michele Pernetta our founder and course leader has had a special interest in yoga for injuries since avoiding double knee surgery through yoga. She has since taught over a quarter of a million people and brought her years of experience to the contents of this course which she will share with you. We launched this programme in 2017 and this is our third year.
We have been building a team of experts, increasing our class offerings and syllabus to better serve people of all ages and abilities. The aim of our 250 hour Yoga Teacher Training programmes and our graduate courses is to support yoga teachers, improve teaching standards and ultimately the student's experience.
Our passion is expanding yoga’s reach to injured people, from injured athletes, to the total novice. We look forward to working with you.
