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.

Thank you for coming!
The Symposium on Yoga Therapy and Research (SYTAR) is IAYT's annual membership conference as well as the premier conference in the field. The focus is on professional education, sharing your work with your peers, Yoga research you can use, and broad discussions about where our field is, or should be, going.
And, of course, simply meeting old and new friends. Asilomar is a beautiful location for our meeting, a "refuge by the sea" as they say, "with rustic charm and simple elegance." Indeed, it's the type of place to consider coming early, or staying over
There will be a meeting of schools starting at 7 pm, August 31, to hear and discuss the work of the IAYT Educational Standards Committee. Check in is 4-6 and dinner is at 6. All IAYT member schools are invited.
Accepted CIC Presentations posted now.

Yoga Therapy Today, Summer 2011
"Articles in Yoga Therapy Today are a reflection of Yoga therapy’s many aspects. They address practice, training and continuing education, regulation, standards, business, research, and new media of note for the profession. Case study, personal story, first-person report, interview, and opinion-oriented styles facilitate content variety that reflects views and practices of the membership. In this way, the membership itself and other health-oriented practitioners and consumers can better understand the nature of Yoga therapy." Kelly Birch, Editor
