  • The Meeting with Schools, held just before SYTAR 2009, including a meeting facilitator and subject matter expert to help develop a structure and begin the process to establish educational standards for the training of Yoga therapists. The work on structure is also known as the Council of Schools Initiative.
  • The 2008 Survey of Yoga Therapist Training Programs.  The purpose of this survey is to present a bird's eye view of the field as a whole and to help students find the right training program for them.

New! Announcing the Results of the 2008 IAYT Survey of Yoga Therapist Training Programs

IAYT is pleased to announce the results from the 2008 Survey of Yoga Therapist Training Programs.

Our primary purpose is to present objective and quantifiable information in order to provide prospective students a bird's eye view of the lay of the land so they can investigate program specifics further.   A second purpose is to better understand the development of our field, as today's training programs reflect our present and influence our future.   This overview will provide a foundation for the evolving discussions about what are the essential components of a Yoga therapist training program.  

The results are published on IAYT's website under Professional Resources/Therapist Training as a grid in three parts. Each part is futher divided in to General Yoga Therapist Training Programs, Specialty Programs and  a limited number of International Programs (outside of North America)
