Going Forward

The 2007 IAYT conference in Los Angeles was a huge success. In particular, I appreciated the diversity and professionalism that was present and celebrated throughout the event. I left with two key ideas that I want to support with action going forward:

1. Research is very important, and we need to embrace it individually and as a profession.

2. Standards are also very important to the practice of Yoga therapy, and we have a unique opportunity to not only create standards for our profession but to do so in a way that acknowledges, embraces, and supports our diversity.
