I just returned from Washington state after spending a week finishing my IMT Advanced training with Molly Lannon Kenny. I am one step closer to finishing my IMT program to become a certified Integrated Movement Therapist and accredited Yoga Therapist! I'm very excited about this venture. While I was away, I received several very exciting news in regarding to my yoga and yoga therapy world.
FIRST: I start teaching Baby and Me Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Yoga Playgroup at The Cobra Club in Bushwick starting next week (Wednesdays)! Check out my DROP-IN GROUP CLASSES CALENDAR.
SECOND: A couple of my mentors and IMT therapists are holding a Basics training for IMT, I'd like to share this info with you in case you are interested in furthering your yoga education and/or want to know what IMT is and what that means in the yoga therapy world. Some info on the teachers for this workshop: Jaime is a clinical social worker, she received her Masters from Columbia University in social work and applies her IMT training through her work with sex traffic victims in NYC. Bess is a yoga therapist at a NYC hospital advocating for patients while working adjunctly with PTs, OTs, and SLPs, she is also a birth doula.
Integrated Movement Therapy® is the holistic therapy approach developed at The Samarya Center by Master’s degreed therapists who are also certified yoga teachers. It is an approach for people of all ages, from infancy to adulthood, using yoga’s philosophical, physical and spiritual framework in conjunction with conventional neurophysiological perspectives to address the unique challenges of people with special needs. - Samarya Center, Seattle, WA (samaryacenter.org)
