Yoga Therapy for Cardiovascular & Respiratory Health Issues
50 Hours (5 Days Online + Home Study)
Gain essential knowledge to work safely and confidently with clients experiencing heart and respiratory conditions — including a dedicated class on Long Covid.
In this module, you’ll explore the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, common conditions affecting these areas, and how Yoga Therapy can support their healthy function. You’ll also learn how to help reduce risks, recognise red flags, and safely guide clients with specific health challenges such as heart disease, stroke, asthma and COPD.
“Our breath, like our heartbeat, is the most reliable rhythm in our lives. It is the one thing we can always count on, whether we are awake or asleep, healthy or sick. When we breathe consciously, we connect with this natural rhythm and allow it to restore balance and harmony to our bodies and minds.”
- Dr. Donna Farhi

The end-of-module test is an online test that covers the content of the module. You’ll have full access to the module materials during the test, so you can refer to them as needed. The test will include multiple-choice and long-answer questions, but you’ll have the opportunity to resubmit your answers if you’re not satisfied with your first attempt.
The goal of the test is to assess your understanding of the material and your ability to apply it to practise. It’s not intended to be a difficult test, but it will encourage you to have a good understanding of the material.
The test will be open for submission for 2 months after the end of the module. This means that you’ll have plenty of time to study and prepare for the test.
