Description: 
Desert Song is working in collaboration with the Matthew J. Taylor Institute to advance the practice of Yoga therapy as a respected and recognized profession in the Valley. Matthew J. Taylor, PT, PhD will be presenting a 2 day-workshop for teachers and therapists that will focus on the next evolution of Yoga therapy that will require three primary skills:
 
  1. Cultural Competence: The ability to develop programming, delivery systems and practical learning outcomes to meet the needs of the community.
  2. Traditional Foundations of Yoga: The deep professional development of the teacher/therapist in the classical teachings and practices of Yoga.
  3. Professional Networking: The ability to understand, articulate and create relationships with medical professionals, business owners, agencies and the public to generate demand for Yoga Therapy services. This includes languaging to interface skills # 1 and #2 in an exciting and meaningful way for potential consumers.
The purpose of this Foundation training is to provide participants with the basic building blocks needed to achieve these 3 skills. Participants will transfer these skills to their particular interest areas during the course and develop their practices using this shared foundational skill set. The final 3 hours will feature participants working with volunteers from the community to put the skills into practice.
