What others are saying:
“I can vouch for this training. Being in Susi's presence for a week and learning from her has taught me to really challenge my own preconceptions and to teach from a place from where I can be fully present to my students, meeting them where they are on any given day. Since this initial training with Susi, I've found myself more curious and more thirsty for knowledge outside of what I've already been taught. My six days with Susi has opened me up to a whole new world of possibilities in movement and biomechanics. I am so grateful for this training. Thank you, Susi!”

Curriculum — Over 6 Weeks Susi Will Teach You:
Awareness as a Healing Modality
Susi's most spoken line is "Where the pain is, isn't the problem. The real problem is under our level of awareness." In a nutshell, we can't change anything we aren't aware of which is a key reason for why pain remains persistent and is not resolved. Applying this concept will help you to become more deliberate and accurate with your teaching.
Anatomy and Movement Principles
When you can apply anatomy to movement and movement to pain reduction, you'll see more clearly what the real problem is. This will improve your ability to choose the techniques or tools for your clients.
Biomechanics, Recovery, and Healing
Susi coined the term "Biomechanics of Healing" very deliberately. Our nervous systems are very plastic. Our tissue can change. When we combine the way our brains work with the ambition and drive our minds and the mechanics of our body, real healing can arise.
Why People Don't Heal, and How They Can
There are contributing factors for why people's progress can be slow, or stall completely. Understanding these ideas will reinvigorate your connection with your client and their needs.

Susi Hately, B.Sc. Kinesiology, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist
Susi has been integrating her university level education in Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics and yoga education since 1995. It is this blend of modern day science with ancient yoga practices that have her results be both quick and sustainable.
You can count on her expertise and experience. In addition to my IAYT program, two of my yoga programs were studied at a University level - yoga post cancer treatment and yoga for people idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
I'm the author of the best selling Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injury Series, I Love Anatomy, Fundamentals of Yoga Therapy, Yoga for the Desk Jockey, and Healing & Revealing Human Potential.
I have appeared as a guest expert at Trent University, on Global TV, CTV, and in the Globe and Mail, Thrive Online, Chatelaine, Bride Magazine, Parenting, and Yoga Journal.
As a young student of yoga, I began to combine the ancient practices of yoga with my BSc. Kinesiology at a Vancouver pain clinic. When I continued to encounter individuals, including yoga instructors, who accepted that their pain was “normal”, I began to explore how yoga was being taught and practiced. By designing therapy programs that utilized sound anatomical principles of kinesiology with the time-honoured practices of yoga, I have enabled people to find pain relief, feel good, and rediscover vitality in their lives.

What others are saying:
“I chose Susi's program because of her biomechanical approach to yoga therapy. I knew she would call it like she sees it and call me out if I needed it. She is clear that she wants her students to make a business out of it, not a part time gig, but full on making good money doing what they love.”

Things you should know:
✓ This training attracts both yoga teachers and other health professionals to enhance their ability to work with their students, clients or patients. It also attracts people who want to work on their own bodies.
✓ I have seen people eliminate long standing (20 years) chronic pain, reduce migraines, reduce pain and flares related to autoimmune conditions and improve mobility and stability following surgeries. We've had people significantly reduce depressive episodes, reduce anxiety, and better manage other mental health issues. When trainees understand the relationship of their movement to the conditions they are experiencing they discover the real factors for why they have the symptoms they do. It is very powerful and super cool (which is a technical term!)
✓ Ultimately, I am not a template girl – I don’t rely on nor do I teach “here is the template for reducing SI joint pain”. There isn’t one template for that to happen. It requires much more than that.
✓ With this 6-week training experience, you will receive a new module each week. You can decide what works with your schedule to take in the information and practice what you learn on your own time. You'll also get to connect with me or our resident trainer with 5 live 1:1 training sessions. These are to get any questions answered and keep you accountable.
Is this for me?
✓ Do you believe that healing is possible?
✓ Do you want a no fuss, candid and truly loving approach to being real about “what is”; to dig in and explore yourself in movement, breath and stillness?
✓ Do you know that your level of awareness, connection and integration has a direct impact on your results with your clients?
✓ Do you recognize you can’t ask a client to do what you aren’t willing to do for yourself?
✓ Do you believe that pain can actually change?
✓ Do you want to learn how to help your client find relief, retrain neuromuscular patterns, and refine how they are going about their daily activities so they have sustainable and consistent change?
What others are saying:
“Taking Susi’s Therapeutic Yoga Intensive™ training was the best investment I have ever made. For one, the training differs from anything else I have ever taken. It is unique — it is not about a one-size fits all template but instead lays out a roadmap designed to help you personally move better and with less (or no) pain as an individual.
What I learned from Susi was “how” to move away from pain, persistent pain — the kind that lingers but never really goes away. Not only did I learn how to observe and feel how my body moves, I learned how to be in tune and mindful of habitual compensatory patterns that were no longer serving me. My body learned new patterns of movement that did not trigger pain. Those new patterns gave my body permission to heal — finally, there was hope.
Susi is a great coach who is very supportive and encouraging. I finished the training feeling very confident in that I can be a valuable resource to helping others move away from pain. I highly recommend the training.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this extended 6 week program work?
Unlike the 6-day Intensive program, this 6-Week Experience lets you learn at your own pace. The recorded modules will be released weekly over six weeks and you can consume it on your own time. You'll also have 5 live training sessions with me or our resident trainer to keep you accountable and get any questions answered. Because this is Module 1 of the IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Certification Program, you will be expected to complete the Therapeutic Yoga Intensive™ by June if you wish to continue to the certification program.
Is the entire program accessible online?
Yes! All you need is a computer, tablet, or mobile with an internet connection. This program will run through on our classroom. You will have 6 weeks to complete the course online.
I don't live in North America. Will this work?
Yes. People from all over the world have participated in previous sessions of this program – across Canada, US, Australia, Africa, Europe, UK, Mexico, Guatemala, and more.
Is this program IAYT accredited? Can I get continuing education credits?
The Therapeutic Yoga Intensive™ is Module 1 in Susi's IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Program. You can participate without enrolling in the full Functional Synergy Yoga Therapy program, or you can enrol, participate and decide later to complete the full certification. It is also in the process of being approved for continuing education credits with IAYT.
Can I get Yoga Alliance CEU's for this program?
Many years ago, Susi made a very conscious choice to not be affiliated with Yoga Alliance, and instead align herself with the International Association of Yoga Therapists. With that said, her trainees have applied for credit for continuing education and have received hours with YA.
How much does registration cost?
The Therapeutic Yoga Intensive™ is CAD$2475.00. Payment plans are available (see below).
