"Education that inspires healing engagement" is a good description for yoga therapy.
It would be good to add in some of the action or behaviour part so taking a liberty and changing that to...
"Education and actions that inspire healing engagement."

Discover how yoga therapists educate for healing by fostering understanding and collaboration in the healing process.

A common misunderstanding about yoga therapy is that there is a specific yoga posture for a specific health condition and to acheive a specific result.
For example, when someone asks "What is the best yoga posture for regulating the nervous system?" i.e. moving from the sympathetic nervous system state to the parasympathetic. Moving from a more stressed state to a calmer state.

The answer is dependent on that individual, their overall health, range of movement, age, gender, ability, any injuries or other health concerns that they have, the time available and the time of day.

But yoga gives broad understandings that can guide choices.
In this case, foward bending postures, lying postures and twisting postures chosen to be suitable for that person, are all good choices for nervous system regulation. They all enhance the physical and psychological capacity to move towards a relaxed state

Rest!
If your days are hectic right now, use 5 minutes to lie down and close your eyes.
Bringing the body to a physically relaxed state helps to restore energy.
Closing the eyes reduces the stimuli to the brain and allows the mind a chance to calm down.
Even 5 minutes helps!

Christmas is a time of gathering together with family and friends
It's a time when relationships are important and sometimes fraught.

In yoga, we can use the yama to inform our relationships and how we act in our relationships.
Here are some examples that crop up in our relationship dynamics...

Ahimsa - listening, understanding and not judging
Satya - being authentic and not pretending
Asteya - taking what is appropriate in terms of energy, gifts or time
Brahmacharya - listening without "fixing", dismissing or getting too involved
Aparigraha - being open to the present moment

Yoga is about relationship and the yama give us direction as to how to build healthy, mutually supportive relationships. This application of the yama in yoga is often overlooked but it is an important step in our yoga progression.
As yoga practitioners we can apply these guidelines to our relationships - professional and personal.

Can I offer others a place where they can feel safe and free to be who they are?
Is my speech truthful and gentle?
Can I fully respect what is mine and what is others, including my time and others time.
What does balancing the use of my energies look like for my situation?
Am I open to who another person is and open to changing my perception of them?

Can you link these reflections to the yama?
Non-harming, truthfulness, not taking what is not yours, moderation and not holding.
