Collaboration is the future of healthcare — and Yoga Therapy has a vital role to play.

As chronic illness, trauma, and recovery pathways grow more complex, no single modality can meet all needs. That’s why Yoga Therapists are stepping into the world of interdisciplinary care — working alongside physios, psychologists, dietitians, and more. ✨

Our latest blog explores how to build meaningful referral relationships, communicate with clinicians, and become an integrated part of a person’s care team.

💫 Words from one of our graduates, Monique Ellis

Throughout her training with Wisdom Yoga Institute, Monique immersed herself deeply in each module — including Mind Body Wellness, where she explored the foundations of yoga therapy, communication skills, yogic lifestyle, and therapeutic assessment tools rooted in Ayurveda and positive psychology. This module helped her connect the dots between ancient wisdom and modern mind-body medicine.⁠

From developing programs for arthritis and joint pain to offering group classes in Broome, Monique now shares her knowledge with the community as a fully qualified, IAYT-accredited Yoga Therapist!⁠

🧘‍♀️ What is a Yoga Therapist’s Scope of Practice?

Yoga Therapy goes beyond general classes — it’s a client-centered, evidence-informed approach to supporting health and wellbeing.

An IAYT-Certified Yoga Therapist is trained to:
• Work one-on-one or in small groups
• Tailor practices to specific health needs
• Collaborate safely with other health professionals
• Stay within a clearly defined scope of practice

✨ Next Intake: February 2026
Mind–Body Wellness is our next module, you can take it as a stand alone training or it can be a stepping stone to becoming an IAYT certified Yoga Therapist. Throughout your learning journey you will learn from a multidisciplinary faculty — including psychologists, naturopaths, social workers and physiologists.

Have you heard people say they have 'done the research'? That too often means they've read some other people's work, watched some YouTube clips, and decided on their hot take. ⁠
⁠
At Wisdom Yoga Institute, our co-founders have actually conducted original research and had their work peer-reviewed by other esteemed researchers, and published in notable, high impact academic journals. Since their PhDs they each have multiple publications they have contributed to the body of knowledge in health sciences and philosophy. ⁠

One of the reasons we started this account is because years ago, images like this were so hard to find!⁠ ⁠

Three bodies. Three dancer poses. Three unique expressions of balance, mobility, and support.⁠ 💛⁠

Which version speaks to you today?⁠ ✨⁠

This is the heart of yoga therapy—meeting the person, not the pose. If this resonates, our next Yoga Therapy training, Mind Body Wellness, is where this journey begins.⁠ 🌿

🚨 Huge news in the yoga therapy world!

We’re thrilled to share the first publication of the research protocol comparing Yoga with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — co-authored by our very own Dr Jean Byrne & Dr Rob Schütze and published in Integrative Medicine Research.

This is the kind of rigorous science that paves the way for:
✅ Medicare coverage of yoga
✅ More choices for mental health treatment
✅ Greater clinical legitimacy for yoga therapists

But we know mental healthcare is expensive.
That’s why we’re committed to training yoga therapists, who are already working in public hospitals — delivering accessible, trauma-informed care to people who need it most.

At Wisdom Yoga Institute, we believe research and real-world practice must walk hand in hand. This publication is a massive step toward a more inclusive and evidence-based future for yoga therapy in Australia and beyond. 🙏
