Neurogenic Yoga Teacher Certification
Neurogenic Yoga marries the ancient practice of yoga with the modern method of Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises™ (TRE) as developed by Dr. David Berceli. Neurogenic Yoga utilizes specific yoga asana designed to facilitate neurogenic tremors. These tremors are the body’s natural healing response which release long held stress and tension.
Those who complete the Neurogenic Yoga Teacher Certification will be certified to teach Neurogenic Yoga within the context of a yoga class setting. (Group and individual sessions are applicable). This certification is specifically designed to integrate neurogenic tremoring into the yoga experience and does not allow those certified to teach TRE™ outside the yoga class or yoga session.
