- The Teacher Track, where Certified Arvigo® Practitioners may apply for admission.
- Traditional Maya Healing Approaches for Body, Mind & Spirit with Introduction, Advanced and Integrative Wisdom Circle levels of training.
Trainings can be taken at or via the Arvigo Institute, but several of the aforementioned courses and workshops can also be taken with certified Arvigo® instructors around the world.
The Introductory Level training courses are designed for any person who is interested in learning more about Arvigo® Therapy as well as learning Self-Care practices for health and wellness.
The Advanced Level workshops and courses are for licensed health care practitioners to use Arvigo® Therapy in their practices. Think of licensed professionals, such as massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, physicians, nurses, midwives, physical therapists, and the like.
As for the instructors, note that there are two kinds of Arvigo Therapy teachers: the Arvigo® Certified Self-Care Teacher who can teach the Introductory Workshops, and the Arvigo® Advanced Teacher who are qualified to teach the Advanced Courses.
