Yoga Therapists, as defined by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), are members of a relatively new and growing discipline. As with any emerging field, community and mentorship are critical components for their success and development. By collaborating with other professionals and experienced mentors, Yoga Therapists can expand their knowledge and skills, stay current with the latest research and practices, and receive valuable feedback on their work. Join us as we begin our second year of building friendship and connection! We are excited to continue fostering a supportive community where everyone can share experiences, learn from one another, and grow together. Whether you've been with us from the start or are just joining, your presence is valued and appreciated.

Our next online meeting is scheduled for October 10th at 7:00 PM, and we hope you can make it. We have some exciting plans and activities in store that will help strengthen our bonds and create even more meaningful interactions.
