YogaX IAYT-Q 300-Hour Program
Integrated Holistic Yoga Therapeutics in Healthcare (IAYT-Q)
This advanced therapeutic yoga program is accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists. It is specifically designed for qualified healthcare providers who want to bring yoga into their existing healthcare practice. Trainees can expect to develop holistic and integrated conceptual understandings and therapeutic yoga skills (in line with IAYT’s standards) that are transformative, encourage inquiry, and promote health, resilience, and growth.
Trainees become knowledgeable in the yoga philosophy, learning to apply yoga history and psychology in their teaching and engaging in deep ethical analysis and commitment that includes clear frameworks for understanding the panchamaya kosha model and framework for understanding health and illness (i.e., the vyuha or four noble truths model).
Trainees become steeped in biomedical and psychological foundations, including concepts of anatomy, physiology, and body mechanics to support skillful and healthful physical practices, especially with vulnerable populations of students. They apply psychological concepts to gain a better understanding of mental health and its relationship to therapeutic yoga, as well as an integrated holistic model for the interaction of physical, vital, mental, emotional, behavioral, and relational wellbeing that serves personal as well as communal (or collective) health and resilience.

They understand how to tailor accessible and equitable practices with intention to convey maximum benefit from their planned therapeutic interventions.

“A skillful teacher can co-create the necessary physical and emotional environment of safety, the shared and meaningful experience of community, and the profound sense of knowing and insight needed to help students take their yoga off their mat and into their lives, relationships, and communities.”
