The Legacy Institute
Education is the foundation for permanent change. As part of Legacy’s business model, we opened a teaching facility that offers regularly scheduled workshops and lectures for health practitioners, exercise professionals, and clients. Courses are organized into short, intensive modules offered throughout the year.
One division of the Institute is the ELDOA School of Training. It opened after the 2013 North American ELDOA Conference, when Scott Herrera recognized the need for a centrally located school where practitioners could learn the skills, practice the techniques, and refine their craft as he had done. Guy VOYER, DO appointed Legacy as the ELDOA Program Administrator and Scott as the Director of the ELDOA Program. The Center regularly hosts ELDOA Certification Courses for Levels 1, 2, 1&2 Combination, 3, 4, and 5.1, and Practical Application Workshops specific to the ELDOA training.
