YVH Regression: The Four Thresholds
The follow-up to YVH Foundations. Four regressions taught in order, each one a threshold you cross first as a client and then as a practitioner: age, womb, past life and interlife.
- 40 hours · 16 weeks
- 16 live sessions · 8 hours of supervised practice
- For certified hypnotherapists
- After YVH Foundations
- First cohort planned for September 2027
The four thresholds
Four regressions, taught in order
Each threshold takes four weeks: the map, your own experience of it, supervised practice with a peer, and integration. You do not move to the next one until the one before is steady.
1
Age regression
Working with the formative imprints of this life. The affect bridge, the younger self as a voice among the voices, resourcing before any return, and re-patterning. This is phase 4 of the YVH protocol, taught in Foundations as a map only.
2
Womb regression
Prenatal and birth imagery, and the first experience of belonging and separation. We work with it as lived imagery, slowly, with the body setting the pace.
3
Past-life regression
Life stories that arise in deep trance, worked with as the Yoga Vāsiṣṭha works with its tales of Līlā, Lavaṇa and Gādhi: as stories that change the person who lives them. The review of a life, and what the client brings back.
4
Interlife regression
The space between one life story and the next. Stabilising the witness, the qualities people report there, and a careful return. It is the deepest work in the program and the last to be taught.
Interlife regression is taught here as part of YVH. It is not Life Between Lives®, the method of the Michael Newton Institute, which trains and certifies its own facilitators.
How it is taught
You cross each threshold before you guide anyone through it
Live sessions
Sixteen live sessions of two hours, online. Each opens with a settling and a tale, as in Foundations.
Your own regressions
You experience each of the four regressions as a client inside the program, before you practise it.
Supervised practice
Eight practice sessions with a peer, two for each threshold, written up and discussed in supervision.
The measure
Fundamental Peace stays the measure. You take the FP20 at the start, at each threshold and at the end.
Safeguards
What this program asks of every practitioner
- What appears in regression is a subjective experience. It is never used to confirm forgotten events, and never offered to a client as proof of anything that happened, in this life or in another.
- The practitioner does not suggest content. The client finds the images and decides what they mean.
- Every client is screened before regression, and you learn when not to do it and how to refer.
- Regression is practised inside your hypnotherapy certification and the rules of the place where you work. It does not replace medical, psychiatric or psychological care.
- No belief is asked of the practitioner or of the client. YVH is a model proposed for research, and its hypotheses are still to be tested.
Entry requirements
Who can join
- A hypnotherapy certification from a recognised school or association.
- YVH Foundations completed.
- A conversation with the faculty before you enrol.
- Working English, for the live sessions and the reading.
Coaches without hypnotherapy training reach this program through Foundations and then a hypnotherapy certification. Regression is hypnotherapy, so it is not part of the coaching track.
Completion
To complete the program
- Attend the live sessions; no more than two can be made up with the recording and a written reflection.
- Complete your own four regressions as a client.
- Hold and write up eight supervised practice sessions.
- Give one observed session in the final weeks and receive feedback.
You receive a World Happiness Academy certificate of completion for 40 hours, signed by Luis Miguel Gallardo. It records continuing education. It is not a licence and it does not confer a new professional title.

Questions
Before you join the list
- Can I join without YVH Foundations?
- No. The Four Thresholds builds on the model, the settling, the parts dialogue and the ethics taught in Foundations. You can start Foundations today, in the live cohort or at your own pace.
- Do I have to believe in past lives?
- No. We work with what the client experiences and with what it changes for them. The program makes no claim about where those experiences come from.
- Is the fourth threshold Life Between Lives?
- No. It is interlife regression as taught in YVH. Life Between Lives® is the method of the Michael Newton Institute, which trains and certifies its own facilitators.
- When does it start, and what does it cost?
- The first cohort is planned for September 2027, after the first Foundations cohort. The calendar and the fee are sent first to the people on the list.
