yogatherapy.health is published by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). Through the site’s resources, members of the public and referring providers can learn more about the emerging profession of yoga therapy and how its transformational practices support clients. We also share the research and traditional evidence behind the work of IAYT-certified yoga therapists, or C-IAYTs.
Founded in 1989, IAYT represents more than 5,600 yoga and healthcare professionals working in more than 50 countries. The organization supports research and education in yoga as therapy and serves as a professional resource for yoga therapists and yoga teachers.
OUR MISSION is to advance yoga therapy as a recognized health profession.
IAYT’s certification for yoga therapists (C-IAYT) is built on competency-based educational standards and a rigorous accreditation process for training programs. C-IAYTs agree to follow a defined scope of practice and a code of professional ethics. Learn more at www.iayt.org.
IAYT publishes the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, a scholarly peer-reviewed journal, and Yoga Therapy Today, a clinical practice magazine. IAYT also provides education via its annual conferences, the Symposium on Yoga Therapy and Research and the Symposium on Yoga Research.
Our 501c3 nonprofit organization is governed by a board of directors, and IAYT’s small, dedicated staff is supported by a large group of volunteers and advisors.
