Introduction to Medical Therapeutic Yoga

Overview:

Welcome to the Medical Therapeutic Yoga Workshop!

Congratulations on taking this next step toward transforming your practice and improving patient care.

This program is for you if you answer yes to any of the following questions: 

1. Do your patients suffer from co-morbidities and/or make lifestyle choices that hinder their progress with you? 
2. Have you ever felt frustrated, burnout, or compassion fatigue because of your career? 
3. Would you like to learn exactly how lifestyle choices impact your clinical outcomes? 
4. Do you want to learn how to harness the power of health coaching to get your patients to follow through? 

The first thing to acknowledge if you answered yes to any of these questions is that our current health system is only designed to treat symptoms of underlying problems. We need a new approach that implements a biopsychosocial model of health care.

Integrated Lifestyle Medicine and Medical Therapeutic Yoga are one solution.
