Hello and welcome to PYTS. You are important to us, whether a prospective student, current student, instructor, faculty member, staff member, or visitor. It is people who make educational institutions great – so your interest is greatly appreciated and valued.

Professional Yoga Therapy Studies program, a Yoga Therapy training and continuing education program for health care professionals and advanced yoga teachers and therapists, was born over 7 years ago, after my own personal evolution with yoga which began more than 15 years ago.

PYTS is a grassroots Yoga Therapy education program dedicated to the experienced health care professional. I founded this program and created a new, comprehensive approach to yoga therapy that is medically grounded, biomechanically sound, evidence based, and very much true to yoga's roots. This method is called Professional Yoga Therapy.

We are young and vibrant, the first and only educational program in the United States to join the hands of Yogic medicine & western rehabilitation exclusively for the health care professional. It is the mission of PYTS to prepare the medical professional as an expert yoga therapist, able to intelligently and intuitively assimilate the best rehabilitation programs based on cutting edge research, new theory in yoga, and medicine.

As a physical therapist with a background in athletic training, manual therapy, and sports medicine, women’s health, and chronic pain management, I am passionate about teaching others how to heal with a holistic yogic approach, remaining true to the rich roots of yoga’s origins while helping to promote growth in the new branches of its bright future.

The bold vision and new PYT method I have created for PYTS will guide us into the future and in decades to come; and, we will continue to rise up and grow as a world wide leading institution of yoga therapy education and discovery. It is my sincere and humble prayer to always remain true to our mission and vision, and it is the collective mission of our faculty and staff to make PYTS a dynamic institution in which to study, learn, work, and explore.

We are glad you visited, and we hope to meet you in the future.
