We provide certification for two career paths — as a Practitioner working one-on-one with clients or as a Yoga Teacher leading therapeutic yoga classes that incorporate the Phoenix Rising Approach. The building blocks for each certification are Levels 1 and 2. Many people choose to complete certification in both to build flexibility and variety into their professional practice.
Level 1 >> Level 2 >> Level 3 = Practitioner Certification
Level 1 >> Level 2 >> Module A >> Module B = Yoga Teacher Certification
Yoga Alliance approved for a 200-hour teacher certification
Click on each Training Level for complete descriptions:
Completion of training at three levels is required to become certified as a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Practitioner.
Level 1 and Level 2 introduce you to the basic concepts, fundamental postures, and important dialogue techniques. Level 3, required for certification, is a eight-month, distance learning program and applied practicum.
Students are assigned mentors who give feedback, guide studies and personal growth, and help students refine techniques. Acceptance into Level 3 is based on application and proficiency after Levels 1 and 2.
During the training, we focus on each student's personal, as well as professional, development; we believe that the quality of the yoga therapy practitioner's presence is a key factor in how well a client benefits from a session.
Phoenix Rising is recognized by the National Board for Certified Counselors to offer continuing education for National Certified Counselors. We adhere to NBCC Continuing Education Guidelines.
