Can I purchase only Module 1?

Unfortunately it would be impossible to learn everything there is to know in order to teach The IPATH Restorative Yoga effectively in one module. We offer this course to healthcare professionals and expect there to be a certain amount of knowledge already known in anatomy and physiology. The foundation of this course is myofascial release techniques which are taught by many. Since IPATH begins with MFR, there is much more that the teacher would need to learn to comprehend the specifics of integral postual alignment techniques. IPATH Pilates, which is a 20 Hr. weekend course- you may begin your IPATH journey here.



What is IPATH?

IPATH is an acronym for Integral Postural Alignment Techniques. The IPATH Method eliminates back/body pain with a sequence of unique poses. IPATH Restoravtive Yoga releases uses breathwork, props and gravity. IPATH Pilates begins on the mat opening with the Heart Opener, and Soft Bridge poses using yoga blocks to create space for the body- then using core stability and strength exercises which focus on back body/core balance. The IPATH Method philosophy is to work mindfully with "hands-off" poses, along with stillness allowing the body to fall into total bliss while creating space, length and joint alignment.



Is there a discount if I pay for the course in full?

When you purchase the 75 Hr. Restorative Yoga Fundamental course for $850 USD, you save 25%, since each module if purchased individually is $250 USD.



Are there exams or tests ?

Is this course accredited? And if so, how many years is the certification good for?

Will I be expected to buy IPATH® decompression balls or other props?

That depends. Most independant teachers purchase IPATH® decompression balls to use with their students. Studios would expect to purchase them, as a necessary prop as well as yoga blocks. These props are essential to the lenghening, decompression, and alignment phases. All teachers and students are prohibited from using any other type of decompression ball in lieu of the IPATH® ball. We can not guarantee results otherwise. Teachers may retail the props to their students from our wholesale shop, or receive referral commision. Once certified, teachers have access to the Wholesale page, Teachers forum, and the Teachers Incentive page using a password.

Why IPATH Pilates? What's it all about?

Integral Postural Alignment Techniques, was actually created with pilates students in mind. We decided to take a step back, when we realized many postural issues in pilates classes began with poor stability awareness and poor postural disfunction. After numerous case studies, the integrity of myofascial release along with slow deep somatic positions was the answer to mindful movement. Many of the foundational positions are yoga poses. Yoga and Pilates have always been complimentary practices. Yoga goes to the root of our foundation, which is why taking a step back meant restorative yoga. After the client/student works through postural issues and realignment, lengthening the body, it is then the muscles, joints and bones are prepared for strength and stability work. We highly recommend doing IPATH Restoartive Yoga before emarking on to IPATH Pilates. Teachers tuition $325.00 USD 20 hr. Live weekend course
