Happy Global Yoga Therapy Day! Celebrate by connecting with healthcare and yoga professionals
0A yoga student said to me once: “I have all the tools I need to deal with my current issue, but I don’t use them. I know the kinds of yoga practices I should do, but I don’t feel motivated enough to do them.” If you find yourself in a similar place of needing yoga yet feeling ambivalent about restarting your practice, you might need a boost to get yourself going. In physics, the term activation energy is used to describe the initial spark that is needed to catalyze a reaction. Similarly, we need activation energy (both physical and mental) to overcome inertia and get started on some new activity. Once you overcome that initial resistance, it’s easier to continue on your path.
One way to get yourself going with your yoga practice is to connect with like-minded people who use yoga and yoga therapy every day to deal with complex health challenges and get inspired by their knowledge, enthusiasm and experience. You can join my teacher Gary Kraftsow and over 100 doctors, yoga therapists and yoga researchers for a three-day virtual conference with educational presentations and interactive panel discussions that focus on the integration of yoga therapy into healthcare, use of yoga therapy to address health challenges, and cultivation of optimal health and well-being.
Global Yoga Therapy Conference (Aug 13-15) is a fully interactive conference experience for healthcare and yoga professionals and individuals in the broader community seeking a better understanding of how yoga and yoga therapy can be used to enhance your health and well-being.

Each day of the fully interactive three day virtual conference features 5 keynotes, 2 panel presentations, 6 concurrent community sessions and 2 designated networking & expo hours.
