Yoga is not just what happens on the mat in a gym, but yoga is meant to be a life journey. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What a Yoga Instructor is
• What a Yoga Teacher is 
• Why they are different
• How to know which one is right for you

If you're looking to learn yoga, get clear on what your intention is for seeking out a yoga practice or class.   Knowing the difference between a yoga teacher and instructor is a big part of cultivating the self-discovery journey you want to take and how you intend to use the practice in your life.

Yoga is often one of the first elements that draws people in to beginning to understand and transform themselves even though it may not be the actual reason they think they need yoga.  You might come to yoga seeking to touch your toes and end up changing your life instead.

This episode explores the emerging field of yoga therapy and IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapy.) The discussion focuses on how a yoga therapist is trained, how the work differs from advanced yoga teaching and the mission of IAYT to make yoga therapy a recognized, regulated health modality. A newly graduated IAYT therapist, Stephanie Engebretson, joins us to share why she chose this educational path as a yoga teacher and what she found most inspirational and most difficult about the studies and the work of a yoga therapist.
