Founder

Integrative Yoga Therapy (IYT) was founded in 1993 by Joseph Le Page who was a yoga teacher in the Kripalu tradition and focus on energy healing. The creation of IYT was formed out of the studies and healing arts that he was exposed to over the years of being involved in yoga. The idea behind IYT was to be able to find a new approach to yoga therapy that was still spiritually centered, practical and could be incorporated in the world’s idea of wellness. From the start only the best yoga teachers and yoga therapists were involved to help share and grow this idea.

The Koshas

The framework for Integrative Yoga Therapy lies around the koshas. Kosha means layer or sheath in Sanskrit. Koshas are the different layers that make up each individual. Through training you will be guided by a yoga teacher to bring awareness to any type of separation at each of the levels. As you find the levels you can use the tools that have been taught through yoga to bring more balance and harmony to each of the separated layers.
