Course Overview
Build the foundation for safe, ethical, and effective client care.
Join Yoga Therapist Kelsey Delane for this essential 9-hour weekend training designed for yoga teachers and aspiring yoga therapists. This course explores the heart of yoga therapy: the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and client.
No matter the modality or goal of a session, the quality of the relationship is the most powerful tool for healing. In this training, you’ll learn how to cultivate a space that is safe, confidential, reliable, and grounded in clear ethical boundaries — the cornerstone of any therapeutic container.
What You’ll Learn:
- The foundational principles of a therapeutic yoga therapist-client relationship
- How to establish and maintain appropriate professional boundaries
- What it means to create a space of trust, presence, and compassionate listening
- The goals and functions of the therapeutic relationship in the context of yoga therapy
- How to navigate the nuances of relationship dynamics through case studies and group discussion
This training lays the groundwork for all future client work and is a required module in our 300-hour Yoga Therapy Teacher Training. Whether you’re working one-on-one or in small groups, you’ll walk away with the tools and confidence to hold space with integrity and care.
