Frequently asked questions
What is Thyroid Yoga®?
Thyroid Yoga® created in 2013 by Fern Olivia, artfully infuses wisdom from western and eastern medical perspectives to create a total healing approach and has been endorsed by leading medical doctors and practitioners of functional medicine as a proven way to help restore and realign the energetic and biochemical mechanisms that influence thyroid functioning.
Thyroid Yoga® is a unique method designed to empower those with thyroid imbalances to say goodbye to survival mode and embody their most liberated self. The method blends Integrative Nutrition, Kriya Yoga and Katonah Yoga®, Reiki, meditation, and holistic self-care to provide specialized one-on-one mentorship, teacher trainings and retreats to empower those who feel like they are at the mercy of prescription medicine. Thyroid Yoga® is a massive movement of using conscious self-expression and intuitive wisdom to heal physical and emotional blockages, ultimately bringing forth a state of hormonal balance and sustained well-being.
How can I learn Thyroid Yoga®?
Thyroid Yoga® virtual training and certification is the best method to learn this powerful technique. Request an online or live training in Costa Rica by emailing us at fern@fernolivia.com
Do I need to be a Yoga Instructor (200-hour certified) to take the Thyroid Yoga® Practitioner Training?
No! Many of our Thyroid Yoga® graduates are certified yoga instructors, however, this is not required. Many of our graduates are also graduates of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition or are certified in another healing or movement modality. A 200-hour certification is recommended for teaching classes in a studio, though not required for the Thyroid Yoga® practitioner training and certification. We recommend all practitioners look into yoga teacher insurance for working with clients, studios, and other instruction.
