Healthcare Professional Program
Program for non-yoga certified professionals.
Over the past 20 years, our Oncology Yoga Certificate program has attracted many professionals outside the field of yoga. These professionals are often Physical and Massage Therapists, Psychologists, Doctors, Pilates Instructors, Social Workers and even hospital administrators. Our program has also sparked curiosity within folks who do not wish to teach yoga but would like to gain more insight and support for their own personal or professional pursuits.
In the past, we have invited these individuals into the larger Certificate program, but this has not best served them, because the Certificate program is robust and designed for yoga teachers and therapists. For this reason, we are developing a specific program for non-yoga professionals. This program will deliver valuable elements of the longer Certificate Program but will not include the application of the yoga4cancer Methodology, including the requirement of a teaching practicum submission, nor any evaluation of the teaching skills required for Oncology Yoga professionals.
