Yoga Therapy Education

Seeing & Understanding from the Base is a seven part Yoga Therapy Course which mirrors Guruji’s learning schema of beginning from the see-able observable outer form, through to the more subtle aspects of the mind and senses of perception. This series will be invaluable for teachers and trainee teachers to help them understand how to work with students with common issues and for experienced practitioners looking to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga.

This course is led by Stephanie Quirk who is a world leader in the field of Yoga Therapeutics. Stephanie spent 20 years living in Pune India, studying and working with the Iyengar family at the Ramanani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute. During this time Stephanie worked directly with the Iyengar’s in the medical classes, gaining extensive knowledge and experience with Yoga Therapy.

Details for the series are provided below including a short video where Stephanie is sharing with us the structure of the the training.

The course is a series of 7 study modules or parts. Parts 1 – 3 have already been held and recordings are available for purchase below. Parts 4 – 7 can only be completed in person.

What is covered in the classes?

The study begins at the already established base of the students own practice. Stephanie will then introduce participants to adaptions, modifications, and props that with assist participants with their own practice and for teachers / trainees to assist students who attend their classes with commonly occurring problems and conditions.

“I have especially appreciated the care and thoughtfulness that has gone into curating a meaningful experience for those of us who are abroad and working through the material in a self directed manner. Between the recordings, the summarized notes, and the Padlet, it is a comprehensive and rich learning experience. Stephanie’s teaching is so vast and she shares it open heartedly. Having the opportunity to study with Stephanie in this way has been really special” – Stephanie T

“I had the great privilege of learning with and from Stephanie in Pune and Israel on several occasions and to study with her online since the option was made possible. When the option to join the online training in yoga therapy opened, I must admit I was a bit sceptical at first: how can such a “hands on” topic be learnt online in a proper way? I was so happy to learn how! I find that the extra attention on camera angles, the editing and general pace of the class provide a clear and profound learning experience from afar, and that I am receiving excellent tools to further dive into my studies and practice. Even though I cannot join live because of time differences (we are 9 hours apart!) I find that the recordings are more than enough for me to work by myself, and of course to explore working with other practitioners. The technical aspect of the course – video, and the wonderfully edited intricate notes – are so well thought out and support this type of deepening into yoga that Stephanie offers.” – Edo P
