Adaptive Hatha Yoga Teacher Training – India

Travel to southern India with Satya Greenstone for a ten-day Adaptive Hatha Yoga Teacher Training. In the intimate classroom setting of the Integral Yoga Institute of Coimbatore, you will learn how to adapt the Integral Yoga® practices to meet the needs of any individual. Explore ancient temples and experience Indian to its fullest.

You will learn the essential benefits of each asana and determine how to best implement them without strain—regardless of your students’ physical, mental, or emotional conditions.

Yoga is for every body, regardless of shape, size, or ability level. Learn how to make the sacred practice of Yoga accessible to all students of varying levels and abilities. Take the next step in your career as a Yoga instructor and deepen your own spiritual growth by experiencing the peace of Yoga in the homeland of Sri Swami Satchidananda.

This training explores:

• Adaptations of asanas (postures)
• Chair Yoga (helpful for students with limited mobility or space)
• Gentle warm-ups and stretches
• Safe and effective prop use

Adaptive Yoga gives us the tools to reach various populations that may not have had access to the benefits of Hatha Yoga. In addition to Yoga studios, Adaptive Yoga classes can be offered in senior centers, rehabilitation facilities, recreation centers, hospitals, churches, and community centers.

An Adaptive Yoga class provides all the benefits of the basic Integral Yoga class at the level that the individual student is capable of practicing. You will learn to create safe, comfortable Yoga sessions and study how to accommodate people with limited mobility, students in private classes, and practitioners of various levels in group classes.

Tuition includes double accommodations, texts, three daily vegetarian meals. It does not include airfare, airport transfers, or excursions.

Testimonials

Satya held such a large healing and supportive space for us. She teaches from the heart and leads me to my heart while “sneaking” lots of “academia” in under the radar. When you fully show up, and sometimes just barely at that, you’re blessed with knowledge, support, and growth. — Past Participant

This is my second training with Satya. She is knowledgeable and interesting. She knows her stuff. The teaching manual was excellent and well-thought-out. I would definitely like to take another training with her. — Past Participant
