It is in this (pediatric) messy and incredible setting that MTY blends so effortlessly. As a traditional biomedically trained physical therapist and athletic trainer and also a 200 hr trained yoga teacher, I already recognized the need for synchrony between Eastern and Western Medicine. I couldn’t facilitate motor development if the child was never free to move. I couldn’t “fix” a cihld’s body if she couldn’t effectively take a deep breath. And I couldn’t really help a family that didn’t want to heal. When I stumbled upon the Professional Yoga Therapy Institute it was such a present. Here was a well-established and thoroughly evidence-based body of work designed to comprehensively lead me down the path I was already navigating on my own.
