What People Are Saying
The PYT program has been an absolute game changer for me, personally and professionally. MTY has helped me address chronic injuries (many of which were yoga-related), grow spiritually and emotionally, balance my energy, and greatly improve my well-being. As a clinician I am far more able to provide integrative care in a way that empowers my patients with tools they can use every day. I feel fulfilled and inspired professionally, since I can now practice in a way that lines up with my values. Thank you Ginger for creating a path that helps both healthcare pros and their patients thrive!"
Dr. Michelle Walendowski, PT, DPT, PYT
I came to the Medical Therapeutic Yoga program as very yoga-curious, but perhaps also a little yoga-skeptical. A colleague had been through the program and she raved about it and used yoga in some way in nearly every session, so there was clearly something there, but I wasn’t sure what. I’ve never been one to let other people know something I don’t, so I took the leap. And, well, now I get it. Ginger has managed to combine the medical science that I know and love with the science of yoga in a way that was sensible, practical and compelling. Bringing in elements of functional medicine and integrated lifestyle medicine cinched the deal. It makes sense, it works, it is something I can integrate into my treatment with just about everybody in my pediatric outpatient practice in one way or another.
Sue Berres, OTR/L
MTY translates WELL through the telehealth format! My clients are quickly showing significant improvement in just 2-3 visits! The MTY gives me a great framework for my treatment plans, and it's actually fun for me, since I get to use yoga as part of the physical therapy intervention.

ILM + MTY teaches you not only how to screen for, but how to plan intervention, using lifestyle medicine through both an allopathic and integrative lens. Lifestyle Medicine enjoys an extensive evidence-base, perhaps more than any other treatment modality, and it's certainly inarguable that sleep, nutrition, mental health, physical activity, and environmental influences yield a hefty impact on our longevity.
