"Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices for individuals or small groups"

Yoga Therapists, as defined by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), are members of a relatively new and growing discipline. As with any emerging field, community and mentorship are critical components for their success and development. By collaborating with other professionals and experienced mentors, Yoga Therapists can expand their knowledge and skills, stay current with the latest research and practices, and receive valuable feedback on their work.
