However, this workshop aims to change that by revolutionizing healthcare - from the inside out.
This Program Is for You If:
- Your patients suffer from comorbidities and/or make lifestyle choices that hinder their therapy progress.
- You have ever felt frustrated, burned out, or compassion fatigue because of your career.
- You want to understand how yoga, when operationalized through the Medical, Therapeutic lens, can improve your clinical outcomes.
- You want to harness the power of health coaching and yoga as a Lifestyle Medicine, to lower your burnout and improve patient follow-through.
This workshop will introduce you to a sustainable model of Integrative & Lifestyle Medicine practice, via the Medical Therapeutic Yoga (MTY) method, which has been taught and field-tested since 2001. It is based on Dr. Ginger Garner's bestselling text of the same name, which is published in English and Italian and is slated for 3 more foreign translations.
This workshop will also walk you through the steps to become a Certified Professional Yoga Therapist & Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner, which is the oldest Medical Yoga Certification program worldwide, and is respected around the world as a comprehensive, effective, sustainable, low-tech, low-cost method to using Yoga in healthcare - and requires little overhead or equipment.
PT's, OT's, & similar practitioners are ideally suited to deliver this mindful model of practice. The dual certification Lifestyle Medicine & Professional Yoga Therapist programs are well known, with hundreds of therapists and doctors teaching Yoga today in healthcare through the MTY Method.
Using the MTY Method will help you not only improve patient outcomes and tackle comorbidities and chronic pain; it will also broaden your therapy skill set and diversify your income stream while teaching you critical business skills that will increase your visibility and value, and tackle burnout and compassion fatigue.
