Yoga Therapy Training & Certification
ANANDA SEVA is deeply committed to the therapeutic application of yogic practices to assist people to maintain optimal health and to aid in the recovery from dis-ease. Yoga therapy is a new and emerging field which offers tremendous potential as an alternative health modality that draws upon the ancient wisdom of Yoga to bring forward tools for health and well being.
Training
Our Yoga Therapy Training Program is a comprehensive 300 hour certification course which, when combined with a 200 hour Yoga Alliance approved certification as a Yoga Teacher, can be utilized to receive a 500 hour Yoga Alliance approved Yoga Teacher Certification. This Certification training is taught by a team of leading experts in the field who represent a variety of traditions, bringing a rich depth and breadth of yogic knowledge to the students.

Yoga Therapy Directory
As a service both to our former students and to those looking for a yoga therapist to consult with, we offer a Directory of Yoga Therapists. Each Yoga Therapist has their own areas of speciality. Some work with a variety of modalities and some specialize with particular yogic tools. To find someone who can work with a specific condition or in a desired modality, it is important to look through each practitioners web site and to talk with them personally to make sure it is a good fit. In our directory we give training background, speciality areas, web sites and contact information for each Yoga Therapist listed.
Yoga Therapy Research
Ananda Seva also publishes research papers on the application of Yoga to a variety of conditions which our students compile as part of their training. This is student research taken from available sources and in no way represents all that may be known on a given topic, but may bring some rich new insights and information to the reader.
