The instructors
Welcome to the Medical Therapeutic Yoga Workshop! I am thrilled that you've decided to take this next step toward transforming your practice and improving patient care.
The model of Integrative Lifestyle Medicine, practiced through the lens of Medical Therapeutic Yoga, is sustainable, low-tech, low-cost, and requires little overhead or equipment.
PT's, OT's, & similar practitioners are ideally suited to deliver this model through the integrative lens of mindfulness, chiefly through the Medical Therapeutic Yoga method.
This workshop introduces you to the dual certification programs in Integrative Lifestyle Medicine & Medical Therapeutic Yoga.
The MTY Certification will help you diversify your income stream and therapy skill set, increase your value, and tackle burnout and compassion fatigue. This program will change the way you approach patient care AND self-care.
This program is for you if you answer yes to any of the following questions:
- Do your patients suffer from comorbidities and/or make lifestyle choices that hinder their progress with you?
- Have you ever felt frustrated, burnout, or compassion fatigue because of your career?
- Would you like to learn exactly how lifestyle choices impact your clinical outcomes?
- Do you want to learn how to harness the power of health coaching to get your patients to follow through?
This one-hour online webinar will transform the way you look at patients. It will:
- Increase your effectiveness as a therapist;
- Introduce you to the foundations of Integrative Lifestyle Medicine through the lens of Medical Therapeutic Yoga;
- Help streamline clinical decision-making by finding root causes of pain and disease instead of just treating a diagnosis;
- Improve patient outcomes and satisfaction in less time and with less burden on you and the patient; and
- Tackle persistent pain and complex comorbidities that are hindering your patient and client outcomes.
