Supreme Release Yoga Therapy Training Level 1
Hands-on SRY Yoga Therapy is profoundly healing, deep, powerful & transformational. The person trained in these techniques is rare. For many years I had a very full private practice of SRY Yoga Therapy because of word of mouth. In particular, a local chiropractor, acupuncturist, and psychotherapist sent me a multitude of clients because the healing they witnessed in their patients was dramatic.
The chiropractor said, “I can’t get people’s psoas to release like you can.” The acupuncturist said, “My patients respond to treatments better when they work with Kaya.”
What you learn in the SRY Yoga Therapy Part 1 training is NOT how to lead private 1:1 SRY lessons. In this program, you learn hands-on techniques to gently, directly “force” opening and release in the spine which is equivalent to about 10 SRY classes. You will be able to usher clients through the healing they have been seeking but not finding.
You’ll be able to foster releases that are not at all even possible when one practices alone – in particular the release of the pubococcygeus [from the tailbone to the pubic bone] and the psoas. These areas are particularly tight for anyone who has chronic anxiety, hypermobility, or relational trauma. If you would like to successfully work with such students and clients then this training is essential.
I run this program in a “retreat-like” way. You’ll get the technical training, but you also will be giving & receiving real sessions along the way in partner pairs. You’ll have a different spine by the end of the 3 days.
Space is limited for what has now become a rare opportunity to be in person together. See the details below.
Please join if you feel this is a fit for you at this time. I can confidently say that the 12 years that I spent in nearly full-time dedicated in-person study & travel about 6-20x per year was invaluable and irreplaceable.
Love,
Kaya

- be respectful and meet each person in the program as a form of the divine, no matter their affiliations, background, history, opinions and personal choices. In theory, you must be able to do this with clients as well. If you are caught up in divisive, and holding hatred or condemnation, arrogance or condescension in your heart, you will not be able to facilitate and guide deeper healing. The divine births all beings lovingly and DEVOURS all equally in the end. She has no favorites. In healing work you must be capable of showing up in this way.
