Materials to promote health and wellness at all dimensions of being through Yoga. Welcome to the future of Yoga!
As approaches to health continue to evolve, Yoga will be a primary vehicle for the wellness programs of the future because of its ability to promote health and healing at physical, emotional, and spiritual levels simultaneously. Yoga is already being accepted into mainstream wellness approaches at hospitals, businesses, schools and universities, summer camps for children, drug and alcohol rehabili
tation centers, and a variety of other settings. Offering one-on-one Yoga therapy sessions also offers a variety of career opportunities. All of these career avenues require specific training beyond the Yoga teacher level. Integrative Yoga Therapy (IYT) is a vehicle for bringing this new vision of wellness into your life and into your career. Come join us in expanding our vision into the world. Yoga is taking on a wider role in modern life; an expansion beyond the Yoga classroom into all areas of our community as a vehicle for wellness, healing and personal transformation. Integrative Yoga Therapy is a pioneer and leader for over 15 years in training Yoga professionals who can bring the ancient insights of Yoga into mainstream wellness programs. Our programs are based on a vision of health as a unity of body, mind and spirit. Yoga is a vehicle for deepening this experience of Unity and bringing it into the world as a resource for personal growth, healing and awakening. Our experiential approach to learning allows students to integrate in-depth information through a creative process resulting in a unique experience. We support IAYT's educational standards for yoga therapy and intend to apply for IAYT accreditation following implementation of the new process. IYT training programs give students the skills, insights and practice to bring Yoga into mainstream life in ways that are inspiring, enjoyable, safe and easily accessible.

Manomaya Kosha is the facet of our being where mind and emotion meet. It is home to our thoughts, memories, and perceptions — the subtle fabric that shapes how we see and feel the world.
In Integrative Yoga, we begin by feeling our feelings, relaxing into them, learning to witness them, gradually developing clarity so that the mind can be relaxed even when thoughts and emotion are present.
Through acceptance, thoughts and feelings gradually come into the stillness like the surface of a lake when the wind that disturbs it begins to ease.
To cultivate harmony within the Manomaya Kosha, practice:
🕉️ Meditation and inner listening: observe your thoughts as clouds passing through the sky.
💫 Conscious breathing: use prana to soothe the emotional body.
🌿 Self-study (Svadhyaya): recognize mental patterns and transform them into wisdom.
💛 Compassion: look at yourself and others with gentleness and acceptance.
When we care for this subtle body, the emotions become allies of discernment, and each feeling reveals itself as a doorway to the consciousness that dwells within us.

An image that beautifully reveals the essence of Yoga Therapy is that of a river that must flow harmoniously through its two channels for the current of self-healing to reach its destination which is our own inner Being.
One of these channels is trust in the tools and practices of Yoga — the understanding of techniques, the body, the mind, and the energy that guide the process of transformation. The other is faith in the inherent potential of each person to awaken their own capacity for healing, recognizing that the path to health is also a path of self-knowledge.
This second channel is strengthened through the cultivation of the essential qualities of being: awareness, patience, empathy, and compassion.
It is the living union between technical skill and these qualities of the heart that allows the Yoga Therapist to guide the journey with authenticity, integrity, and presence — revealing that when both channels flow freely, self-healing unfolds spontaneously.

In Yoga, there is no need to hide who we are in moments of fragility. Every fear, every doubt, every wound carries a silent invitation — to recognize ourselves in the wholeness of our being which encompasses all of our areas of learning. When embraced with awareness and presence, vulnerability reveals itself not as weakness, but as a doorway to the inner strength that has always lived within us.
I invite you to experience this practice: allow yourself to feel without judgment, create space for what arises, and observe how compassion becomes a bridge between body, mind, and heart. In the silence of your Yoga mat, in the pauses between breaths, discover that to embrace yourself is, in truth, to awaken to the fullness of your own being.

Sutra 1.14 states that abhyāsa, practice, only becomes firmly grounded when maintained for a long period of time without interruption and with devotion and sincerity.
The first aspect of practice is dīrgha kāla; it is to be maintained for a long period of time. The human personality is a matrix of conditioning resulting from millions of years of evolutionary history. Transforming this matrix must be done slowly and skillfully so that as the habits and tendencies of the conditioned personality are released, new tendencies acquired along the spiritual journey take their place.
The second facet of practice is nairantarya – uninterrupted, which stresses the importance of continuity. At the level of the conditioned personality, we interact and react to our surroundings almost unconsciously. When our environment is perceived as harmonious, we experience balance and ease, and when we meet challenges and emergencies, there is a tendency toward avoiding them or reacting unconsciously which creates stress and subsequent dis-ease.
The third facet of practice is satkara, which literally means to uphold truth and refers to sincerity and reverence as a means to awakening to our true Being. Satkara is a sense of deep reverence for the experience of uniting with our true Being through the recognition that it is our life purpose and meaning. Satkara is the recognition that we are the very truth we are seeking. As this truth permeates our entire being, it guides us to practice with energy and sincerity until final awakening when all forms of conditioning are released.

From the perspective of Yoga, love is not an emotion or a feeling. It is the very nature of our true Being. Experiences in daily living such as romantic relationships don't bring love into being, but awaken that which is always present. As we attune to the inner source of love, our ability to experience it into the world is actually enhanced.
Experiencing our own inner essence as love frees us from the compulsion to demand it from the world and offers us the possibility of sharing something we already have rather than begging for something we believe we are missing.
Compassion is our expression of love in the world. It is the gaze that recognizes the other as an extension of oneself, the gesture that arises from a peaceful heart, not from obligation. To practice compassion is to allow consciousness to move through us — healing, embracing, and connecting.
In the journey of Yoga, every breath is an invitation to return to this silent center of awakened love. When we act from that place, our relationships become fields of healing, and daily life reveals itself as spiritual practice — where serving, understanding, and loving are expressions of the same unfolding consciousness.
Namaste ✨✨

Each journey is unique, yet all share the same impulse — the longing to truly understand oneself.
The materials of Integrative Yoga are born to support this path — not as ready-made answers, but as mirrors reflecting the wisdom that already lives within us.
In the stories we receive, we witness the beauty of this exchange: books, card decks, and practices that become bridges between study and experience, between knowledge and the direct realization of being.
May each resource serve as a reminder: Yoga begins within you, and it blossoms with every step of awareness.

When we look at the body with reverence, it ceases to be a limitation and reveals itself as a path.
Yoga reminds us that every sensation is a form of listening — the body speaks where energy flows and where it asks for attention.
By moving, breathing, and being present, we transform the ordinary into spiritual practice.
The body then becomes a temple of consciousness — a place where the sacred manifests in every gesture, every heartbeat, every breath.

Integrative Yoga was founded by Joseph Le Page in 1993 with the intention to promote health and wellness at all dimensions of being through Yoga. The focus of Integrative Yoga is to create Yoga materials and methodologies that present this ancient science in a way that is clear and accessible so that the student experiences Yoga directly, rather than theoretically.
These materials and methodologies are oriented toward student-centered learning so that each individual is able to access the material in a way that is appropriate and optimal for their needs. This allows for the cultivation of health and healing in all dimensions of being - physical, energetic, psycho-emotional and spiritual. This allows students to deepen the journey of self-knowledge, which naturally contributes to the optimization of physical health and also a greater alignment with the true Self.
Integrative Yoga is based at the Enchanted Mountain Yoga Center in Garopaba, Santa Catarina (Brazil), one of the largest Yoga retreat centers in South America.
METHODOLOGY
Through this methodology, students are able to naturally integrate the philosophical content into their daily lives, expanding their understanding of Yoga beyond the classroom, thereby dissolving limiting and restrictive patterns of behavior and belief at the level of body, mind and spirit.
Within Integrative Yoga, the fundamental concepts and methodologies of Yoga are presented in profound, and at the same time humorous and participatory ways. The natural environment of Enchanted Mountain Yoga Center, set in the rainforest and near to the sea, creates an ideal setting for optimizing the health of the body, balancing the mind, and the unfolding of our true Being through methods and techniques that embody the tradition of Yoga in a way that allows us to apply these truths in daily living.
