Advanced Sequencing - Therapeutic Needs
75 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Gopi Kinnicutt
In this 75-hour advanced module, we enter into the art of healing through movement, sequencing, and presence. You’ll learn how to see the body as a map—one shaped by emotion, experience, and energy—and guide students toward wholeness through intelligent, healing yoga.
This training centers on Body Smart Sequencing, a method of weaving postures into progressive mini-sequences that build both function and freedom. Using subtle adaptations, breath, and repetition, we retrain movement patterns to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent injury. It’s both intuitive and biomechanically precise.
You’ll develop a keen eye for imbalance, and learn to sequence for common areas of stress like the neck, shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, and lower back. Whether working one-on-one or leading dynamic group classes, you’ll be empowered to teach yoga that’s not just expressive—but truly healing.
What you’ll learn:
Applying Body Smart Sequencing through a Therapeutic Lens
Learn the skills of adaptation to target specific muscles and movement patterns in order to address injury, tension, and areas of pain or resistance. Develop the ability to identify what needs stabilization, and where and how to create greater range of motion.
Study deep anatomy for the different regions of the body, along with therapeutic sequencing designed to restore balance, ease, and strength.
Learn very specific sequences to address different areas of the body where stress and injury may be felt:
Neck & shoulder pain
Upper thoracic immobility
Low back & digestive issues
Knee & hip dysfunction
How to adapt sequencing for therapeutic outcomes
Working with energy lines and pressure points through yoga
Postural assessment and movement re-education
One-on-one work for physical, emotional, and energetic healing
Hands-on assists and the art of subtle touch
Use of props for support, traction, and transformation
Creative use of chairs, blocks, and straps in recovery-focused practice
Designing short recovery sequences and longer healing flows
Yoga is a path toward union, and that includes integration of body, breath, and awareness. This module helps you see and support your students holistically—with compassion, clarity, and precision.
