Grow Your Career As a Yoga Teacher and Spiritual Entrepreneur
Welcome to the online component of the course Bringing Yoga Therapy Into Hospitals and Academia.
This 40-hour APD (advanced professional development) workshop is designed for yoga teachers and yoga therapists who would like to bring medical yoga (or their specialization area) into an academic or hospital environment -- or any other medical establishment such as nursimg homes or private businesses etc.).
This workshop will provide opportunities for students to learn:
Participants will learn the skills necessary for developing and writing a business plan and a professional proposal and will also receive guidance on how to successfully navigate within various types of professional settings.
This competency-based workshop will enable Yoga Teachers and Yoga Therapists to acquire a higher level skill-set that will enable your successful implementation of the “approach, enter, and succeed” formula. Participants will learn clear & comprehensive stratetgies for “what to do” and “how to do it.”
Please note that this workshop covers two areas:
If you are only interested in getting your foot in the door of a hospital or in academia, it will still be very important to review all of the components of setting up a small business as a sole proprietor.
It is likely that some hospitals may only want to hire you as a part time contractor or fee-for-service employee. If this is the case, you will want to have your own identity and business brand in the market-place and you’ll want to be able to pitch your ideas to other hospitals or businesses. Also, it will likely mean that you will still have to obtain a business license, insurance, and to possibly set up an LLC or some other type of structure.
If you're taking this course to receive professional development. The following will be needed.
You will need to attend the Bringing Yoga Therapy Into Hospitals and Academia course at Yogaville, Buckingham, Virginia or Yogaville's Live Online workshop. For full details on registering for the retreat here is the link
