Welcome to IIYT Yoga Therapy.

What is Yoga Therapy?  
Importantly, Yoga and Yoga Therapy are aspects of health maintenance and are not to be considered as replacements for medical intervention on any level While Yoga and Yoga Therapy can provide patients with several ways to help manage responses to stress and anxiety that oftentimes accompany receiving a diagnosis, they do not replace medical intervention, advice, or treatment.
​Yoga therapy focuses on offering instruction in methods that have been shown to help manage adverse responses to stimuli and induce a sense of comfort, compliance, and function. Regular applications of yoga therapy can help:
• reverse pain, stress, anxiety, and fear related symptoms
• generate a sense of adaptation and comfort and
• self-actualize a meaningful quality of life.

All aspects of yoga therapy are to be fully and transparently discussed, disclosed, approved through empirical evidence and followed by the medical team prior to clinical applications. Patients and their medical team determine the approach, significance and effects of yoga therapy.

The benefit of seeing a trained yoga therapist who is cognizant of the scope of practice and boundaries is central to maintaining safe, responsible and effective patient-centered healing environments.
