  The 500 Hour Spanda Yoga Movement Therapy training program's focus is on meeting the needs of individuals or groups with a targeted goal in mind. A class or session could address specific health challenges, repetitive strain issues of use and misalignment, performance analysis and coaching for athletes and performing artists, or other impediments to the evolution of consciousness.
  Graduates are prepared to offer instruction in private and semi-private settings, design tailored group classes for specific needs, and complement integrative approaches to wellness and health care.
  The program is oriented around the idea that wellness is a continuum of personal evolution. A yoga practice that incorporates awareness of the integral nature of our layers of being has the power to unleash our inner drive and reveal our life's purpose. The yoga movement therapist serves students and clients by creating the conditions for this process of opening.
  Course content areas will expand on the 200 hour Teacher Training program with greater focus on multi-level observations and personalized strategies for transformation. Energy and Consciousness, Holistic Foundations, Integrative Avenues to Wellness, and Healing as Transformation are the core sections through which Ashtanga Yoga, Spontaneous Movement and Movement Analysis, Experiential Anatomy, and Lifestyle Guidance are interwoven to create this reorganizing approach to transformation.
  The 500 Hour Program continues from the Yoga Alliance registered 200 Hour Spanda: The Yoga of Movement Teacher Training, or can be joined once one has completed a Yoga Alliance registered 200-Hour program. In this case, an orientation module must be included in the curriculum. Applicants who have not completed a Yoga Alliance registered 200 Hour training program, but have completed equivalent training, will be considered if documentation of all training is provided.
 

Beginning 2008: Modular Programs will be offered in the United States. The modules will be based on an extended weekend format. A Summer Intensive Program will also be offered in Umbria, Italy. The 2008 schedule for both programs will be posted on March 1, 2007, and will detail specifics of the courses offered.
