300-Hour Advanced 
Yoga Teacher Training
in Somatic-Emotional Yoga Therapy

Join Stefani on an embodied journey into your body and emotions in this intimate training that weaves Vinyasa practice with Somatic exploration, meditation, Thai Yoga Massage, mantra, mudra, and breathwork. . . 

​

This training is about (e)motion, giving ourselves space to feel and move through those feelings that we usually avoid, learning to unlock those parts of ourselves that are stuck or held back, unleashing the feminine, and embracing the joy of being in our bodies. Offered intentionally for a small number of students, this training is intimate. It is part experiencing Somatic Yoga Therapy for yourself and part learning how to provide this beautiful work for others in an organic way. This training is proudly taught in a manner that is trauma-informed and neurodivergent supportive. Stefani works with each student individually to support you in learning YOUR way.  Most importantly, the training structure is accessible. We will meet in Calgary, AB once in the Summer for a 5-day in-person training. The rest of your program is held weekly online with a class that meets on Tuesday evenings. This allows you to move through the material slowly so that you can truly embrace the opportunity for transformation.

 

This training is part of the 800-hour Somatic Yoga Therapist Training. As a 300-hour advanced training, you will earn your RYT500 or RYT800 in Advanced Embodiment Yoga with the opportunity to continue on the pathway toward becoming a Somatic Yoga Therapist. 

 

This intimate yearlong training is intentionally small and is offered only once per year with an alternating AM and PM option. Admission to this program is through an application process.

​

This intimate program is created for yoga teachers aspiring to become yoga therapists and individuals already working in the field of mind/body therapy. Our trauma-informed approach to yoga is used by our graduates in mental health clinics, secondary schools, yoga studios, and retreat centers, and is suitable for both individual and group work. 

​

In this training, you will be immersed in the study of Yoga Therapy that supports the Somatic Emotional health of the body, through the lens of the Manomayakosha. You will explore Vinyasa Yoga, Ayurveda, Thai Yoga Massage, Somatic-Emotional Yoga Therapy,  Embodied, and Adaptive Anatomy, Yoga Philosophy and Practices for Supporting Somatic-Emotional health, Eastern and Western perspectives on emotional health, Craniosacral techniques, Ayurvedic Energy work and how to support clients with these practices in group and individual settings. 

​

The 300-hour Advanced Embodiment Yoga Teacher Training in Somatic-Emotional Yoga Therapy is one of three learning modules in the 800-hour Somatic Yoga Therapist Certification Program. As a stand-alone training, graduates will earn a 300-hour certification in Advanced Embodiment Yoga; 200-Hour Yoga Teachers may take this training to build on to their existing training hours, providing them with the RYT500 designation, those already having a 500-Hour designation, earn their RYT800 with the Canadian Yoga Alliance.

​

Graduates may use the terms 'Yoga Therapist' or 'Somatic Yoga Therapist' upon graduation from the 800-hour Somatic Yoga Therapist training by completing the remaining two modules of the program, which are the 300-hour Advanced Embodiment YTT in Somatic-Energetic Yoga Therapy, the 200-hour Mentoring Practicum.
