Yoga Therapy
Notre Dame of Maryland University’s School of Integrative Health (NDMU SOIH) and its graduates are pioneering the new field of yoga therapy through one of a kind programs. Yoga is one of the nation’s leading and fastest growing natural therapies used by millions of Americans to address chronic and acute conditions and to promote a lifetime of health and wellness. Yoga therapists use advanced mind-body approaches to support this growth.
Graduate Academic Programs
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN YOGA THERAPY
NDMU SOIH offers the first and only master’s degree in yoga therapy in the U.S. Graduates are prepared with the comprehensive foundation in the theoretical, scientific, and experiential training of yogic teachings and practices needed to provide a therapeutic relationship in conventional health care and medical settings. Graduates apply and integrate the teachings and practices of yoga with contemporary science and evidence-informed practice to evaluate the needs of clients and to design balanced and effective programs tailored to address their individual health challenges. This program is accredited by the Accreditation Committee of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).
POST-MASTER’S CERTIFICATE IN THERAPEUTIC YOGA PRACTICES
This online program is designed for licensed health care providers (LHCP) who want to add yoga therapy tools such as yoga and meditation to their scope of practice without becoming a fully certified yoga therapist and to effectively refer and collaborate with yoga therapists.
