The mission is to elevate the conversation of mindfulness in medical and public sectors.

Graduates of The Institute for Integrative Care's Yoga Therapy Program will successfully work as a holistic practitioner embracing philosophical teachings and literature in context with current integrative health sciences to develop inclusive and collaborative Yoga Therapy services that embraces all walks of life. We pair Vedic teachings with modern research to demonstrate application and relevance into health and medical arenas while equipping trainees with tools, techniques and methods to facilitate clinical Yoga Therapy. The training program is crafted to encourage trainees to contribute to the public health landscape through blending yoga philosophies and conventional medical knowledge. Trainees are supported through the practicum to establish techniques to serve communities that equip trainees to develop a yoga therapy model and framework as a skilled Yoga Therapist.

MelMarie Yoga is partnered with NWHSU threading yoga therapy into integrative care. NWHSU builds a bridge between the siloed healthcare of the past and coordinated, collaborative, whole person healthcare of the future. It will house NWHSU’s newly developed master’s degrees in Integrative Care and Functional and Integrative Nutrition, as well as certificates in Integrative Health Coaching, Trauma-Informed Care, and Integrative Healthcare Administration. It will also serve as an incubator for future educational programming and degrees that align with NWHSU’s vision for integrative care. The resources developed within the Institute will enhance our existing care delivery systems and broaden our support to alumni and other critical partners. The Institute will be a creative space for cross-sector problem solving to reimagine high quality sustainable healthcare through the lens of value based, whole person centered, equitable integrative care. Lastly, it will ensure that we keep our eye on our connection to community and how we are demonstrating community engagement.

Our Professional Yoga Therapy Program is part of our CEU pathway.
