IJYT 2011      Announcing the 2011 International Journal of Yoga Therapy

The 2011 Journal features reports of original research on how yoga can help breast cancer survivors, patients with heart disease, veterans with PTSD. It also includes practical guidelines for offering yoga to older adults, individuals with fibromyalgia, and survivors of trauma, violence, and natural disaster. Thought-provoking perspectives emphasize the importance of collaboration with fields that may be viewed as "competition," and challenge the field to consider ethical issues of offering yoga therapy to specific populations. As always, you'll find articles that provide the information you care about most: detailed information about yoga interventions, advice for incorporating the full spectrum of yoga's healing practices, and in-depth discussion of the evidence supporting each recommendation.

An Introduction to IAYT spotlights some of our contributions to the field of Yoga therapy and healthcare.

IAYT: Scenes from SYR 2010 and Invitation to SYR 2011 at Kripalu also features IAYT’s mission but with an emphasis on our recent research conference, the Symposium of Yoga Research (SYR), which took place at the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA, in October 2010, and an invitation to the next SYR at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts in September this year. We hope that you will take a look and we encourage you to share these with friends and colleagues who are interested in IAYT and our mission.

IAYT, NAMA and YA Announce

Daniel Seitz, JD, EdD.

"An Overview of Regulatory Issues for Yoga, Yoga Therapy, and Ayurveda" by Daniel Seitz, JD, EdD.

This is an invited paper forthcoming in the 2010 International Journal of Yoga Therapy.

We are publishing this early because of the current work of the IAYT Educational Standards Committee and hence the timeliness of this article.

Financial support for the research and writing of this article was provided by IAYT, the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and Yoga Alliance (YA). The purpose is to serve our common goal of well-informed communication and decisions in this complicated and challenging area. Free access to all is provided as a public service.

The IAYT Educational Standards Committee

This committee, chosen from volunteers from IAYT Member schools, is charged with developing recommendations to the IAYT Board about entry level standards for the training of Yoga Therapists and related issues. Preliminary recommendations are due by July, 2011 and final recommendations one year later.  Anyone may follow this, and IAYT members may contribute to this discussion on IAYT's Digital Resources Library, in the Group, "Member Schools and the Educational Standards Committee."
