Energy Medicine

Vinyasa Krama Yoga Therapy Training

May 10th-11th 2025

This Energy Medicine training offers an exploration of subtle body energetics in relation to physiological conditions using Slow Flow Vinyasa Krama Therapy. The term “Vinyasa” means a mindful and deliberate placement, while “Krama” refers to a step or sequence. This style of yoga offers a journey into the art of mindful movement, breath, and alignment with a therapeutic focus. Rooted in the traditional teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, this practice is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills to tailor yoga practices to the individual needs of your students, addressing physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

You will explore Vinyasa Krama in relation to subtle energy, focusing on the vayus (physiological systems), doshas (constitutional types), gunas (mental states) and chakras (psycho-energetic centres). The approach offers therapeutic sequencing and teaches you how to adapt postures for specific conditions, such as autoimmune conditions, cancer, heart disease and various conditions relating to the various systems of the body.

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS

I really enjoyed the Energy Medicine Teacher Training with Carol Murphy. She is really knowledgeable, approachable and a great teacher. There was a good balance of theory, practice and student teaching in the training. Carol gave her attention to each of us individually and gave us constructive feedback. Slow flow is really accessible and expands my versatility and offering as a teacher. I feel more confident with my therapeutic toolkit and this training applies to other styles of yoga I practice also. I wasn't that familiar with vayus before attending and now feel confident planning classes around them.

Carol has a wealth of knowledge and is so passionate about sharing this amazing work. The Energy Medicine training was interactive and fun which made the learning so much more enjoyable. Such an interesting course to learn how to help yourself and others live life fully with this holistic view, not just looking at the physical body but the subtle body also. Really looking forward to bringing these therapeutic practices into my teaching.
