In July 2020, Tiffany and the Yoga Medicine team will return to San Diego to offer an advanced yoga teacher training on the shoulder. The Shoulder intensive yoga teacher training provides a thorough examination of the shoulder’’s anatomy, dysfunction, and the application of yoga to address common contraindications. The Shoulder Intensive Yoga Teacher Training is one of our core orthopedic yoga teacher trainings along with the spine and hip yoga teacher trainings – all of which are highly recommended for our advanced teachers.
This course takes place at the Marina Village Conference Center. This event venue is located near the Mission Bay Channel, just minutes away from the sparkling open waters of the Pacific. If you haven’t visited California before, this is the perfect occasion for your first visit during the joyous summertime!
Who is This Training For?
For teachers dedicated to a higher standard of learning looking to deepen their knowledge.
The 55-hour advanced courses are for yoga teachers enrolled in our 500-hour program and are dedicated to pursuing their 500-hour certification with Yoga Medicine®. Every participant has at least a 200-hour yoga teacher training certificate and is actively working with students and clients in a yoga setting.
We believe that an experienced yoga teacher is a key component in our healthcare network and with our credentials, people know they have a teacher who is knowledgeable and experienced. The 500-hour advanced training focuses on a deeper understanding of western anatomy and physiology and its application to the traditional yoga philosophy. We train our teachers to understand the body and the practice so that they can understand how to apply the practice to the individual with any style or level of practice to create personalized therapeutic yoga sessions.
Program Structure
Anticipated Daily Schedule
Tuesday – Saturday
7am-7pm
Sunday
7am-5pm
The format of the yoga teacher training week will be familiar — each day begins with a 2-hour morning practice and ends with a more restorative practice in the evening to tie together the course content of the day. There will be daily yoga teacher training lectures in the morning and afternoon along with evening homework to help you retain the information. Unlike our other trainings in remote locations, this training is located at the Marina Village in San Diego, California. So we will have an hour breakfast break and long lunch breaks around 1-3pm to give you time to stroll to cafes and diners. Each day will finish in time for dinner so you will have the evening to experience the vibrance of San Diego.
When booking flights, please keep in mind that the training begins at 7am on July 14th and ends with an evening lecture at 5pm on July 19th. We recommend reviewing our attendance policy and the cancellation/refund policy in the FAQ’s for more details before registering. Please consider acquiring travel insurance to help protect yourself from the unforeseen and unavoidable that may affect or prevent your participation in the training (sickness, injury, family emergency, weather, etc.).
Program Curriculum
Shoulder: Anatomy, Dysfunction, and Application (55 Hours)
Many yoga practitioners seek out yoga for shoulder pain, injuries, and other ailments. This intensive yoga teacher training begins with a deeper look at the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder joint as a basis for learning to evaluate this area. This course examines the common injuries and dysfunction of the shoulder with an exploration of how to work with issues in this area. This course will teach you how to work with a variety of ailments and how to troubleshoot new ailments on your own. There will be case studies along the way to help you integrate the information. You will leave with a deeper understanding of this joint that you can immediately apply to your teaching and your practice by more thoroughly understanding the function of this joint.
This yoga teacher training counts as 55 hours towards your 500-hour/1000-hour Yoga Medicine certification. Directly following the yoga teacher training you will be invited to take an online exam to receive your certificate of completion.
