The Yoga in Therapy Collective Membership

A Supportive Membership Space for Mental Health Therapists Ready to Integrate Yoga Practices with Confidence, Intention, and Clinical Integrity.

Why You’re Here

You already know that traditional talk therapy has its limits.

Even the most skilled therapists encounter moments when words alone can’t unlock what's held in the body or influenced by the nervous system.

Healing deepens when we engage the body in the therapeutic process.

That’s why you’re interested in yoga-informed and somatic practices—to support regulation, embodiment, and transformation beyond mere words.

But Integration Can Be Confusing

You might find yourself asking:

How do I integrate yoga practices without crossing ethical or clinical boundaries?
What if my clients hesitate or aren't ready for movement?
How can I determine what’s appropriate for this client at this moment?

Many yoga trainings aren't tailored for the therapy room. They often focus on preparing you to teach Yoga classes at a studio instead of clinical decision-making, nervous system regulation, and aligning with treatment goals.

As a result, many therapists feel uncertain and isolated.

You’re Not Alone 

I’ve been there too. After completing my yoga teacher training, I was excited but overwhelmed with questions about how to effectively integrate these practices into my sessions.

Through years of study, supervision, and real clinical experience, I learned how to support regulation and what practices best fit ethical guidelines.

The Yoga in Therapy Collective was created so you don’t have 

to navigate this alone.

Why This Membership Stands Out

Built by a Therapist, for Therapists
With a dual perspective in clinical practice and yoga, I translate practices into clinically relevant, trauma-informed tools that support therapy.

Ongoing Support

 This isn't a one-time workshop; it’s continuous learning, mentorship, and community.

Community Connection 
 Learn alongside like-minded therapists who understand the complexities of this integration.

Focused on Your Well-Being  
Therapist sustainability matters—supporting your well-being so integration feels sustainable.

Clinicians who value trauma-informed, ethical practice and seek trustworthy guidance.

Therapists eager to grow with confidence, without second-guessing every decision.

What our members are saying:

I joined the Yoga Therapy Collective almost immediately after earning my yoga teacher certification and have found great comfort in the being a part of it. Although I still have a lot of benefits to take advantage of, just knowing that such tools are available makes me feel less lost. Chris is such a warm and knowledgeable leader (with a great sense of humor) who provides a landing space for those, old and new to yoga therapy, to feel confident and supported. 

-Sana, Licensed Therapist

I was struggling to feel confident to share yoga and meditation practices with clients because I was concerned about pushing or triggering them. Being part of the collective has helped me to talk out my situations with clients and find clearer ways to connect practices to the needs that they are going through. Having ongoing support helps me feel less alone and more inspired to keep bringing in these beautiful practices to support their bodies to be included in their healing process.

-Carrie Ann , Licensed Therapist

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need to have a 200 RYT to join the Collective?

Absolutely not!  You can join if you have had  any level of yoga training. Prior training is a great way to get yourself started before joining the collective.  

How often are the Live Case Consultation group and Live Q/A? How do I access these?

The Live Case Consultation is only time a month and the Live Q/A is once a month as well.  All Live's are accessible through a Zoom Link provided to members. Attendance is not mandatory; join us whenever you can—we'll be glad to have you!

Do I have to be committed for specific period of time with the membership?  

Nope!  There is no time commitment.  Members are billed monthly and stay as long as they like. You can cancel at any time without penalty.
