THE YOGA THERAPY INSTITUTE is founded on the principles of safety, collaboration, and innovation, we are passionate about adapting yoga to meet the changing needs of health and wellbeing in today’s world. Our forward-thinking approach brings together the wisdom of yoga with contemporary research, empowering teachers, therapists, and health professionals to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.
The Yoga Therapy Institute was established in 2017 by Montserrat G. Mukherjee, a respected pioneer in the field and one of Europe’s first C-IAYT Yoga Therapists.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, Montserrat has dedicated herself to working with clients from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of health challenges. Recognising the need for a fresh and innovative approach, she set out on a mission to revolutionise the way we perceive and practice yoga in a therapeutic setting.
From its humble beginnings with just five students, The Yoga Therapy Institute has evolved into an international school with a nurturing space where personal and professional transformations flourish.
Alongside the dedicated faculty, Montserrat’s passion for teaching and commitment to fostering an inclusive learning environment have been instrumental to The Yoga Therapy Institute becoming the dynamic and pioneering hub for Yoga Therapy that it is today.
The Yoga Therapy Institute provides highly individualised Yoga Therapy education for yoga professionals and students from diverse fields, including medicine, mental health, corporate, education, and much more.
We warmly welcome students from different backgrounds, enriching our classes and creating a vibrant learning environment.
As the leading international Yoga Therapy school, we have successfully reached students from all around the world, united by their passion to make a positive impact through Yoga Therapy.
Our comprehensive curriculum integrates biomedical knowledge, practical Yoga Therapy tools and trauma-informed counselling skills, equipping future Yoga Therapists with the necessary expertise. We prioritise staying updated with the latest scientific research and innovative practices, ensuring our students receive cutting-edge education in Yoga Therapy.
At The Yoga Therapy Institute, we foster a collaborative, fun, and supportive learning environment, nurturing the development of effective and compassionate Yoga Therapists.
Respect for the person as a whole. Not only someone’s health issues but every aspect of the human being, inspired by the five Koshas and the Eight Limbs of Yoga.
Good intentions need to be supported by wisdom and knowledge. It is important to acquire an in-depth knowledge of health and disease, human psychology and the social environment.
Something that is often missing in yoga practice! Respect and knowledge equal safety, therefore we create the right environment for our clients and students to heal and grow.
We care for our clients and train our students to care for others as well as to practise self-care. A smile, a cup of tea and a warm welcome can already be a contribution to others!
We believe that Yoga Therapy should be trauma informed. Trauma in its various degrees and complexities are part of the human condition and as such, our students are trained to recognise the need for trauma informed practice.
"At The Yoga Therapy Institute we believe in the healing properties of traditional yoga principles, modern Yoga Therapy, Ayurvedic and conventional medicine, adapted to the individual for their personal needs.”
To work with those who are in need and who can benefit from the safe practices of Yoga Therapy – regardless of their age, gender, ability, gender identity and social condition.
At The Yoga Therapy Institute, we prioritise adaptability and person-focus in Yoga Therapy, while still valuing classic Yogic approaches. Our work is grounded in ethical and safety protocols, ensuring a safe and inclusive space for individual health and well-being. As a post-lineage institution, we strive to create a supportive environment that embraces flexibility and caters to the unique needs of human beings of today.
