Explore how yoga therapy can support the management, prevention, and even reversal of chronic disease through a focused 100-hour training in Rishikesh. At Mind Bliss Yoga Academy, this programme goes beyond leading standard classes and instead teaches you how to connect with each person’s individual needs through the healing science of therapy. Set on the banks of the Ganga, at the foot of the Himalayas, the training blends classical yogic knowledge with practical therapeutic application.
You’ll develop a deeper understanding of the nervous system, the subtle energetic layers addressed through yoga, and how to design sessions that respond to real health concerns rather than fixed sequences. The course is open to practising yoga teachers seeking greater depth, physiotherapists and healthcare professionals looking for a therapeutic yoga foundation, and motivated beginners who feel called to this path. On completion, you receive a yoga therapy certification from India’s most established yoga city.
What This Training Addresses
Yoga therapy supports a broad range of conditions, and this training gives you the knowledge and confidence to work within that range.
Stress and Anxiety: Learn how to create sequences and breathwork practices that help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, offering genuine relief rather than temporary distraction. Many students find the training changes their own relationship to stress as much as it expands their ability to support others.
Back Pain and Musculoskeletal Health: The course covers functional anatomy, spinal mechanics, and therapeutic session design for people dealing with injury, chronic discomfort, or post-rehab recovery. You’ll also learn when referral is the right choice.
Nervous System Regulation: Polyvagal theory is introduced in clear, practical terms so you can understand how breath, movement, sound, and stillness influence the body. This becomes a key lens for therapeutic work.
A Whole-Person Approach: Sleep, digestion, emotional resilience, immune function, and trauma are all part of the training’s wider perspective. Rather than treating these as separate issues, you’ll learn to respond to the whole person.
