His further expansion in learning is reflected in his latest and most in-depth work, ‘Yoga as Therapy,’ which is truly one of the most comprehensive, innovative and useful treatments of the structural aspect of yoga therapy available.

He is at the highest level of certification with Yoga Alliance, ERYT500, and a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. For more about Doug: http://www.doyoga.com/about-us.htm
