Big changes are happening in the yoga therapy field. Protocols are being established to set industry standards for those individuals calling themselves a yoga therapist. One of the associations leading the way for this change is the International Association of Yoga Therapists. What that means for you is that yoga therapists will be required to possess skills related to applying yoga therapeutically for a variety of conditions using postures, breath work, meditation and other tools. Some additional educational requirements can include extensive training for anatomical, physiological, psychological and emotional conditions and how yogic tools can be used to address a variety of conditions.
Thank you for your interest in yoga therapy.
