UNIQUE EXPERIENTIAL APPROACH TO EDUCATION

IYT was founded in 1993 by Joseph Le Page, a Yoga teacher in the Kripalu tradition and body-worker whose special focus is energy healing. The design of the IYT program developed out of Joseph's studies of traditional healing arts in over one hundred countries together with his masters degree work in experiential education. "I wanted to create a training program with the focus on Yoga as a healing art which would be student centered, non-dogmatic and in alignment with the latest approaches to teaching, while remaining deeply rooted in the vast treasury of wisdom within the Yoga tradition."
