Yoga Therapy

Rasa Yoga School of Yoga and Ayurveda offers the highest quality training and experience for individuals seeking to apply Yoga and Ayurveda in the manner in which it was originally intended, as therapy. We believe that integrated training and practice is essential for a yoga therapist. Rasa Yoga trainings feature the Rasa Yoga Learning Method which closely aligns with Elaborative Rehearsal Learning, a method that has been proven to allow for a 90% retention of material learned.

In Sanskrit, Cikitsa means "Therapy", therefore, our Yoga Therapy Training Program is named the

Rasa Yoga Cikitsa Program.
