Recorded Workshops

Yoga Therapy Education

“Seeing & Understanding from the Base” is a seven part course that 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 training is 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.

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 assist students who attend their classes with commonly occurring problems and conditions.

Further details about these workshops can be found our Yoga Therapy Training page.
