Founder of Professional Yoga Therapy Studies, Ginger Garner’s:

Professional Yoga Therapy Studies program, a Yoga Therapy training and continuing education program for health care professionals and advanced yoga teachers and therapists, was born over 7 years ago, after Ginger’s own personal evolution with yoga which began more than 15 years ago.

PYTS is a grassroots Yoga Therapy education program dedicated to the experienced health care professional. Ginger founded this program and created a new, comprehensive approach to yoga therapy that is medically grounded, biomechanically sound, evidence based, and very much true to yoga's roots. This method is called Professional Yoga Therapy™.

As a physical therapist with a background in athletic training, manual therapy, and sports medicine, women’s health, and chronic pain management, Ginger is passionate about teaching others how to heal with a holistic yogic approach, remaining true to the rich roots of yoga’s origins while helping to promote growth in the new branches of its bright future.
