- definition developed by the IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists)

“According to Yoga International, “rather than focusing on yoga methods and practices, yoga therapists fundamentally focus on their clients’ needs.” Yoga therapy is powerful because it empowers individuals to maximize their own health, happiness, and wellness.  You have the tools, gifts, and power within yourself. There IS something right with you.  You may have forgotten.  You can uncover the beauty and power within.” - Inner Peace Yoga Therapy School
