Mission Statement
|
The Southern Yoga Therapy Association is an Atlanta based organization made of up certified yoga therapists, licensed healthcare professionals, and students dedicated to the integration of yoga therapy into the broader healthcare system. We strive to do this by continuing to provide opportunities for local and regional yoga therapists and licensed healthcare professionals to expand their knowledge base and skill regarding the competency areas delineated by the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
The Southern Yoga Therapy Association was created to provide a supportive community both locally and regionally to provide opportunities for continued learning and growth for IAYT certified yoga therapists, therapeutic yoga teachers with advanced training, and licensed healthcare professionals with experience integrating yoga into their allied specialties. |
According to the International Association of Yoga Therapy,
"Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well- being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga."
*Although we are not an official sub-chapter of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, we adhere to this organization's code of ethics and scope of practice to guide clinical decision making. To read more about this organization or to become a member, please visit www.iayt.org.

We are pleased to offer monthly clinics taught by qualified yoga therapists in order to offer community learning opportunities . As yoga therapists and allied healthcare professionals we always want to make sure that we are maintaining boundaries with clients, using evidence based tools to guide clinical practice, and are using ethical lenses to inform decision making. These are just a few of the issues that arise in private practice. Participating in regular continuing education helps to maintain standards of practice as well as inform new perspectives of healthcare delivery.
These clinics are open to the public, however require an RSVP as space is limited. A minimum $20.00 donation is requested at the door to cover administrative and operational costs.
