Functional Synergy:
The Therapeutic Shift: How to Move from Yoga Teacher to Yoga Therapist
Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here.
If you’ve landed here, it’s likely because something’s been stirring.
Maybe your 200-hour gave you a good foundation—but now, when your students move in pain, compensate, or can’t quite find ease… you feel it:
“I want to help more, but I’m not sure how.”
Or maybe you’ve sensed that there’s more to teaching than cueing alignment or offering modifications.
That what’s really happening beneath the poses—the nervous system signals, the compensations, the readiness for change—that’s the work you’re meant to do.
If so, this 90-minute session was made for you.
Because you’re not just teaching yoga anymore. You’re starting to think like a therapeutic teacher.
And that’s exactly where the shift begins.
Before I Share the Details…Let Me Say This...
I’ve been where you are.
Many of the teachers who now train with me—teachers who confidently support clients through pain recovery, injury rehab, and nervous system-informed movement—once stood exactly where you’re standing now.
They knew enough to sense there was “more.”
But they didn’t yet know how to bridge the gap.
That’s what this 90-minute experience is about.
Why the 200-Hour Feels Limiting
(And Why That’s Not Your Fault)
Most 200-hour programs are designed to prepare you for group classes.
They teach you how to guide breath and movement into shapes.
How to hold space.
How to offer a few modifications.
But they’re not designed to teach you:
- How to see compensation patterns.
- How to interpret nervous system signals.
- How to work with chronic pain, injury, or complex movement dynamics.
- How to teach therapeutically.
That’s not a failure on your part.
It’s a gap in the industry’s learning pathway.
And it’s a gap we can fill—together.
What We’ll Explore in Our 90 Minutes
Part 1: Why You’re Feeling the Friction
We’ll normalize the “in-between” space you’re in.
It’s not confusion. It’s growth.
Part 2: The 5 Missing Links Between TTP and Therapeutic Teaching
I’ll walk you through the skills and awareness that bridge the gap—including biomechanical observation, nervous system integration, and the art of therapeutic adaptation.
Part 3: The Identity Shift (and Why It’s the Hardest Part)
You’re not just learning new skills.
You’re becoming a different kind of teacher.
We’ll talk about how to navigate that shift with grace and confidence.
Part 4: The Therapeutic Teaching Progression
I’ll share the exact pathway many of my students follow as they grow from TTP graduates into skilled, sought-after yoga therapists.
Part 5: Your Next Steps
You’ll leave with a clear sense of where you are, what’s next, and how to take the next aligned step (whether that’s with me or another path that suits your growth).
Who This Is For:
This session Is For You If:
- You’ve completed a 200-hour (or multiple) and feel ready for deeper, more therapeutic teaching.
- You notice when students compensate or struggle—and wish you knew what to do.
- You want to integrate biomechanics, nervous system science, and true therapeutic skills into your teaching.
- You’re curious about becoming a yoga therapist—but you want clarity before committing to a full training.
- You value learning that blends science, somatic intelligence, and embodied leadership.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A deeper understanding of why your students move the way they do—and how to support them more effectively.
- Clarity about your own readiness (spoiler: perfection isn’t required).
- A framework for progressing from yoga teacher to therapeutic yoga teacher to yoga therapist.
- An understanding of the common fears that hold teachers back—and how to move through them.
- A clear next step (including how to explore more advanced training, if you choose).

A Personal Note
If you’ve read this far, chances are you’re not just looking for another “workshop”
You’re looking for a way to evolve how you teach.

That’s exactly what therapeutic teaching is about.
And it would be my honor to help you begin that journey.
If you’re ready, I invite you to join me.
FAQ
Is this just for brand new teachers?
No. Many teachers who join this work have done multiple trainings or certifications. But they still feel stuck trying to bridge what they know with what they see. This session helps you make that shift—whether you’re early in your career or deep into it.
What if I’m not sure I want to be a yoga therapist?
That’s exactly why this session exists. You’ll get clearer on what kind of teacher you want to be—and whether deeper therapeutic work is your next step.
What happens after the session if I want to keep learning?
You’ll have the option to continue into deeper work like I Love Kinesiology or Therapeutic Yoga Intensive. But the 90-minute session will stand on its own and give you clarity whether or not you move forward.
When is the session? And is it recorded?
We meet May 27 at 11 am MT (1 pm ET, 6 pm London UK). Yes it is recorded.
