These workshops will introduce the student to the philosophy and practice of yoga therapy and are designed to provide the student with the practical knowledge, clarity and confidence to work effectively with special conditions.

Each course looks at a different condition or challenge and includes:
- discussion of yoga therapy—what it is and who can provide it
- overview of yoga philosophy and practice as a holisitic healing modality that addresses healing on multiple levels: physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual.
- review of diagnostic and clinical features of each condition, including contraindications and common issues
- information about specific systems of the body that are affected by the condition, such as the respiratory, vestibular and immune systems, as well as neurophysiology.
- opportunities to practice hands-on techniques, including movement and breathing

The emphasis of the Topics in Yoga Therapy series is supporting illness, disease, and life challenges in a holistic manner that encourages healing of the whole person. While it is not a training in Integrated Movement Therapy®, Topics in Yoga Therapy incorporates many of IMT's principles and is an excellent supplemental training for those interested in IMT.

This course is intended for therapists, teachers, parents, caregivers, friends and relatives—anyone interested in developing skills and understanding for helping those you work with and love.
