Foundation Course 100 hours (50 + 50)
This course, divided into two parts of 50 hours each, provides the basics and a general overview of the many applications of yoga in a well-defined context: that of healing and health promotion.
For years now, the figure of the ‘Yoga Therapist’ has been increasingly emerging, although it may be difficult to sustain this kind of appellation in a context such as Italy, where the use of words such as therapy or therapist is the exclusive preserve of the medical sector.
Terminology aside, however right or wrong it may be, the healing power of certain disciplines, so ancient as to be considered true sciences as proven by centuries of experimentation, cannot be denied or underestimated, however, is their extreme efficacy, versatility and almost absence of side effects.
This course is the starting point for all those who wish to interpret yoga in a different key, enriching it with timely and effective knowledge derived from that age-old and rich heritage represented by Far Eastern medicine.
This is a stand-alone course with no obligation to join the rest of the school’s training programme.
The Foundation Course is divided into two parts each of which amounts to 50 hours of face-to-face tuition offered to you through two intensive residential seminars of one week each.
