PYT is now offering distance education in medical therapeutic yoga. See our Programs and Registration for more information.

In 2001 we launched a grassroots movement in education to bring a hybrid style of yoga, medical therapeutic yoga, to the licensed health care professional.
We work with hospital systems, universities, private practices, and studios across North America to offer CE, CME, and workshops.

PYT is an APPROVED NATA BOC CE Provider and provider of medical CE for a wide range of medical professions.

Press Release - New York

Breast Cancer takes a toll on the body, mind and spirit. Two professional women in the upstate New York area, one of them a PYT student and the other a recent PYT graduate, have teamed up to secure funding and help teach breast cancer survivors the benefit of Yoga.

Thanks to a special grant from the Susan G Komen Foundation, written by Karen Cartwright from the Guthrie Breast Health Outreach, a free YOGA class is available every Tuesday night at 6:15 at September Place (on the 2^nd floor) in Burdett.

Eleanor Liebson professionally designed the program using her experience as a Professional Yoga Therapist, and Occupational Therapist at Schuyler Hospital. Modified poses with emphasis on breathing techniques and relaxation is the basis for each session, which Eleanor further modifies based on the age and current strength of each attendee.
