"This (ILM and MTY programs) is what I’ve been searching for since I got out of school 8 years ago. I have peace about where I’m going. It’s not stressful like all those other CE courses I thought I “had” to go to. Ginger I LOVE this MTY and ILM stuff, I love it. This is truly the best clarity I have had since graduating - I’m becoming the holistic physical therapist that I want to be - to take me through an exciting and successful career! I have taken continuing education like yoga for rehabilitation, nutrition in physical therapy, chronic pain management, etc, but NOTHING has put it all together and gone above and beyond like ILM and MTY! I wish I found it sooner - this is how people WANT to be cared for!
Dr. Amanda Wold, PT, DSc
At the end of the training, it feels like my journey of Medical therapeutic yoga and Lifestyle medicine only just has been started! You inspired me each second of the training, with all your beautiful evidence-based insights! The trust in you and the care for my patients and myself, gave me the dedication to finish both certifications. It won’t be me if I would not say that I can only give myself a finish until I 200% manage all the new information. But, that makes it human, right? That makes it yoga, right? Giving yourself time to (rest and) digest all the new information. Until it changes from knowledge to wisdom!

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.
