The term "yoga therapist" is not protected in Switzerland. However, it is possible to obtain the recognized title "Complementary therapist with federal diploma (HFP)" with a focus on yoga therapy.

The following requirements must be met for admission to the Advanced Professional Examination:

• Vocational qualification or equivalent qualification at upper secondary level
• Method training in yoga
• Industry certificate from the OdA KT
• Medical basics course
• Course Tronc Commun
• 36 hours of supervision
• Professional experience in yoga therapy

Within these individual sub-disciplines of art therapy, there is a whole range of interesting training and further education opportunities in Switzerland, both in the form of short seminars lasting several days, intensive basic or advanced courses or full courses leading to the higher professional examination. People who are not sure whether training to become an art therapist is really the right decision can, for example, first attend an introductory course or a basic course to get an idea of whether this professional field actually corresponds to their own interests and inclinations. People who are already sure that they would like to pursue a career in the educational or social field, or would like to expand their current work in these areas, have the opportunity to train in basic training, for example as a painting therapist, in body-oriented music or in movement therapy. Such training courses are basic training courses that last around two to three years and provide participants with the knowledge they need to work as an art therapist in an institution or in their own painting studio. It is then possible to continue training in this specialist area and obtain recognition from one of the professional associations (GPK, FIAC, SVAKT, VDT, ARAET, APSAT, BTK), which enables them to be recognized by health insurance companies. This can be a corresponding further training course with professional experience, or a higher professional examination with a corresponding specialization - such as art therapy.

In contrast to yoga therapy in the field of complementary therapy, after a short instructor course in yoga you can call yourself a yoga teacher and offer courses.

Most schools in Switzerland primarily offer training in Ayurveda therapy that focuses on the area of massages and teaches the various techniques of partial body massage or full body massage. In addition to imparting knowledge and skills relating to Ayurvedic massages, however, some providers also offer special courses and training programs that focus on the other specialist areas of Ayurveda, nutritional therapy, yoga and Vedic psychology, as well as Ayurvedic medicine. Such further training courses can extend over two days or as a more comprehensive seminar comprising 180 teaching hours, for example to become an Ayurveda nutrition and health consultant. In addition to these individual courses, there are also courses and university courses on offer in Switzerland that cover the entire range of Ayurveda and provide part-time training, for example to become a Master in Ayurveda medicine or an Ayurveda specialist, which covers all areas of Ayurveda therapy, such as herbal therapies, dietetics, massages and psychological counseling.
