Become a Yoga Therapist in the Viniyoga Tradition
The Yoga Well Institute’s 1,008 Hour Yoga Therapist Training returns October 14th, 2024.
By training as a Yoga Therapist in the Viniyoga Tradition of Mr TKV Deśikachar you become part of a lineage rooted in personal transformation and authenticity. What lies at the heart of our lineage and distinguishes the Viniyoga tradition is:
- An emphasis on relationships, especially the one-to-one teacher-student and Yoga Therapist-client, which facilitate individualized application of Yogic tools and principles.
- An authentic, coherent system of traditional Indian and Yogic understandings of the human system, how it functions and how to influence it through movement, breathing, attention and sound.
- An expectation that everyone, including leaders, teachers and students, maintain their own daily practice, under the guidance of a mentor, and continue walking on their own path of healing and studentship.
The training you do on the path to becoming a Yoga Therapist in the Viniyoga Tradition is as much about the work you do on and through yourself as it is the acquiring of the knowledge of Yoga Therapy. As a student, you will experience first-hand the life-changing effects of the profession you’re training to serve in as you undergo the process yourself.

Yoga Well Institute’s Program Values
AUTHENTIC
Yoga Well Institute presents a traditional, authentic perspective in our trainings. We help our students understand the underlying concepts of Yoga, which creates a truly integrated experience that is both broad and deep.
EXPERIENTIAL
Yoga is experiential. It can only be fully understood through one’s own practice and application of it in their own life. Our program requires each student to have an ongoing mentor and personally experience the Yoga Therapy process themselves.
TRANSFORMATIONAL
We teach more than just a curriculum. Our students develop new perspectives that shift their understanding and engagement with the world. The duration of our program reflects our believe that it takes time to embody these trainings.
