You’re a therapist. You’re not trying to become a full-time yoga teacher. You don’t need to memorize Sanskrit pose names or lead a flawless vinyasa flow. What you do need is a way to integrate breathwork, movement, and meditation into your sessions that feels natural, effective, and, most importantly, doable.
We get it.
When we first started teaching yoga tools to therapists in live trainings, we got one message loud and clear:
- Most therapists do not want to get on the floor.
- Most therapists do not want a thousand techniques to sift through.
- Most therapists want to know which ones actually work and how to use them for different clients.
So we designed ClinicAlly Trained to give you exactly that.
You Don’t Need 100 Yoga Techniques, Just the Right Ones
There’s a reason traditional yoga teacher trainings don’t prepare you for clinical work. They teach yoga for yoga’s sake. But in therapy, every tool needs a purpose.
That’s why we don’t throw a giant list of postures, breath techniques, and meditations at you. But, let’s be real. You’ll probably learn more about breathing and meditation here than in most YTTs!
Instead, we’ve selected the best, most adaptable, and clinically relevant ones. Then, we teach you how to refine, modify, and apply them based on your client’s goals, abilities, and comfort level.
Because the truth is, you don’t need to know a million poses. You need to know how to use a handful in a way that makes them feel effortless for the person in front of you.
Let’s say you have a client who needs a grounding practice. You know a standing pose that works well. But today, they’re exhausted. Instead of skipping movement altogether, you shift:
Same pose, different orientation. The standing version becomes a seated adaptation.
Same goal, different method. If movement feels exhausting and they’re depressed, you shift to some energizing breathwork which feels more doable for them.
This is where true clinical yoga integration happens. Not in memorizing rigid sequences, but in understanding how each tool works and how to shape it to fit different needs.
Accessibility Isn’t an Afterthought, It’s the Standard
Here’s another thing we found: when therapists hear “yoga,” many assume it means getting into pretzel shapes. But therapeutic yoga isn’t about pushing limits. It’s about making movement feel safe, supportive, and useful.
That’s why we normalize accessibility and adaptability from the start. Every lesson on postures is followed by a lesson on how to adapt them for the individual, and another lesson on safety considerations.
When we train you, we don’t just hand you a set of techniques. We teach you how to adjust every tool for different abilities, energy levels, and preferences.
For example:
- A client with chronic pain struggles with traditional seated meditation→ We show you movement-based meditation that regulates the nervous system without stillness.
- Breathwork makes a trauma survivor feel dizzy and trapped→ We teach you alternative breath practices that achieve the same effect without discomfort.
- A client with mobility limitations can’t do the standard version of a grounding pose→ You’ll know how to shift the pose without losing its therapeutic benefits.
Instead of memorizing what to teach, you’ll understand why each technique works, so you always know what to do next.
You Don’t Have to Be a Yoga Expert, You Just Need the Right Training
You already know how to work with clients. You understand emotions, nervous system regulation, and how trauma impacts the body. Learning to integrate yoga into therapy isn’t about learning a new profession. It’s about adding to your existing skills in a way that makes sense for your practice.
That’s exactly what we teach inside ClinicAlly Trained.
You’ll learn:
- The most effective movement, breath, and meditation techniques for mental health.
- How to adapt every tool for different client needs.
- When to use movement vs. breathwork vs. stillness based on the nervous system response.
- How to integrate these tools without feeling like you’re leading a yoga class.
You don’t need to “do yoga” or be athletic in order to integrate its most powerful elements into therapy. You just need to understand how to use them in a clinical setting.
We’ll show you how.
