The Minded Institute - London

Marie Keutler

I’m currently in the process of completing my yoga therapy training with The Minded Institute, and it has been an incredible journey so far. With over six years of psychology and psychotherapy training, along with 600+ hours of yoga teacher training, I was looking for a way to combine these passions in a scientifically supported way. The Minded Institute has provided exactly that.

The teaching is of exceptional quality, and the sense of community among fellow students and instructors is incredibly supportive. Even though I’m still in the midst of the training, I can already see how it’s shaping my professional and personal growth in profound ways.

I highly recommend The Minded Institute to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of yoga therapy!

As I expected, the Minded yoga therapy course was academically demanding given the emphasis it places on an evidence informed approach. What I enjoyed most was its basis in the yoga tradition such that you are encouraged to question and learn from experience, stimulating personal growth. Lifelong friends are made with fellow trainees that enrich the journey and Heather Mason, the director is a tour de force navigating how to integrate these teachings into our current healthcare system which in my opinion is strongly needed.

I was excited to attend the seminars on Sleep and Sleep Disorders by the esteemed researcher, Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, and it didn’t disappoint. It is so helpful to hear about research which clarifies the benefits of sleep for different systems in the body, and to ascertain the most useful practices within yoga and pranayama. I have been sharing the 22 Part Breath with my yoga practitioners this week and incorporated some research into my corporate webinar on sleep. Thank you Sat Bir and The Minded Institute.

I cannot thank The Minded Institute enough for the BRILLIANT work you are doing.

I'm a keen yogi, studying for my Masters in Clinical and Developmental Neuropsychology.

I've done 2 on-demand CPD courses with The Minded Institute and was lucky enough to be awarded a Fierce Calm Scholarship last summer for the Yoga Therapy for PTSD 5 day online course.

Heather's knowledge is phenomenal, but she is also an extraordinary teacher.

Thanks, Heather and the staff for delivering so much!
It's been a hard journey but a very rewarding one. At TMI I found the professional guidance needed to support my career as a server to the MH community as a Yoga Teacher (and Therapist, eventually).
Will see you in the future again 🙂

Yoga therapy training at The Minded Institute has been truly transformative, a gift in my life that keeps unfolding. The training is incredibly in depth, integrating scientific evidence based knowledge with a very academic approach, with the eastern practices and philosophies. The diverse methods of teaching as well as case studies and experiential practices embed the learning with rigour. I felt the training resonate with me deeply on a personal level as well as the professional.

It feels such a privilege to have trained with Minded, under Heather and the team’s guidance and I loved being part of the supervisory team, supporting yoga therapists of the future in their growth. feel continually inspired by the work of Minded and their vision and it’s a joy to lecture on the course.

With a background as a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher, the yoga therapy training with Minded helped me find both the united space within myself and the integration of the disciplines of yoga and psychology on the outside in my career and professional identity. The training has enabled my growth in bringing the two together in therapeutic work, with more awareness of the powers of yoga therapy at service level, educating and training others, facilitating courses, events, workshops, retreats, and now mentoring yoga therapists and dual trained practitioners of the future.

The journey with Minded has truly been a gift and I feel so proud and grateful for it to be a significant part of my personal growth and professional journey. Thank you, Heather and Minded!

I chose to apply for the professional diploma in yoga therapy because I felt limited by my previous 200 hour teacher training and wanted to offer a richer experience of yoga. The personal development for me through the course has been simply transformative: my own yoga therapy gave me insights I could never have imagined, the kindness and generosity of my supervisor gave me a platform for confidence and growth, and the faculty and my course mates have offered throughout an environment of safety and love matched by courage and honesty. This course is full-on. And so worth it. It has enriched my life deeply, and I am so grateful for that. As I begin my case studies I’m excited for the next layer of discovery.”

I started training as a Yoga Therapist with The Minded Institute in 2022. I had looked at other courses but felt drawn to this one for the wealth of science backed knowledge it delivers.

For me, and being Dyslexic, choosing a more academic course such as this was a huge leap of faith, but the support I have been given through the course from the faculty and my fellow students has been amazing.

The whole course has been a journey of discovery and as a result I have become a much more confident version of myself.

My yoga teaching now is more therapeutically led. I teach at Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centres as well as
my local community mat and chair based sessions.

I have also developed and am currently running trials of a new Yoga intervention ‘Wake up Well’. Im delivering this to different health populations in my local community, and early feedback has been very promising!

Thank you Minded Institute, this course has been truly inspirational
