"In 2023, I received a grant from the Seniors’ Secretariat in Prince Edward Island (PEI) to share an 8-week yoga for self-care program for hospice volunteers like myself. In working through the details of offering such a program, I knew I wanted to share yoga that was accessible for all bodies, fun, and free of charge to participants. My program met all of the funder’s goals, which included promoting positive images of aging, supporting injury prevention, and addressing social isolation, as well as my own." - Joanne Hader, MA, RYT-500, C-IAYT

“It is a pleasure to share with you that IIYT is the FIRST fully accredited yoga therapy certification program in the USA to receive Qualified Healthcare Practitioner (QHP) accreditation.

The IIYT Foundations of Therapeutic Yoga for Health Care Providers program offers the health care provider a foundational understanding of therapeutic yoga as an implementation pathway and as a referral platform.

Already working within their health care environments, the interested health care provider is well-positioned, informed, and experienced in the academic rigor and applications of techniques supported by scholarly evidence, foundational learning, and practicum experience.

With this in mind, the graduate can recognize the role, benefits, value, and virtue of therapeutic yoga specific to the health care environments in which they work.

Please visit www.iiyogatherapy.com to learn more about all IIYT programs, the IIYT Symposium on Clinical Advancements in Yoga Therapy and Research taking place in Detroit, MI on January 17-19, 2025.”
