Growing the Yoga Therapy Association
Dear Founder Member,
Thank you for your continued support. Without you the Yoga Therapy Association would not exist. As a result, we have the opportunity to build our sangha and promote our vision that yoga therapy become a recognising and contributing complementary therapy in the field of health and wellbeing.
Since November 2022 we have been bringing you together through Members’ Open Space, which has provided a platform to get together and discuss a wide range of topics. These topics have ranged from specific questions on working with clients, to marketing ourselves as yoga therapists and how the development of the association is progressing.
Following suggestions from those attending the recent Members’ Open Space, and our desire to keep that space as an informal place of sangha, we would like to create an additional new group with a different focus. We will continue with Open Space and make this purely a place of sangha, come, chat and be part of a community of yoga therapists. These will continue on the third week of the month, alternating between a Monday morning and a Tuesday afternoon. Next Open Space 20th June at 3pm - book here.
We will then set up a separate group to focus on the work of growing the association. We also have a new marketing and communications sub-group and therefore this “grow group” will be positioned to compliment their contributions. It will primarily be to review and look at how we progress towards our initial aims:
To be the respected professional association for Yoga Therapy that promotes excellence in the field of Yoga Therapy
To be the leading source of information about Yoga Therapy
To investigate and publish best practice in Yoga Therapy
To promote Yoga Therapy as a professional complementary therapy amongst our stakeholders and the public
If you would like to be part of this group please put your name forward by completing this short form including your preferred day/time for meeting. The group will meet in the first week of the month (not to clash with Open Space), frequency will be decided by the group itself. You will not need to attend every meeting, but regular attendance is encouraged. The aim is to start the group no later than September.
We look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes,
Yoga Therapy Association Committee
