About Joseph

Joseph’s innate desire for wholeness led him to his first Yoga class in 1973, and his first meditation retreat at the Tibetan Buddhist Samye Ling Tibetan Center in Scotland, with his first trip to India in 1975. He made six subsequent journeys to India for study in Yoga, Yoga Therapy, and Ayurveda. He is a graduate of Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy training. His master’s degree in teaching has supported his development of experiential education methodologies.

He founded Integrative Yoga and Integrative Yoga Therapy in 1993, and is a pioneer in the field of Yoga therapy training programs. He began teaching yoga therapy in hospital settings in 1995 and continues up to the present as Director of The Healthy Heart Program, which conducts Yoga Therapy group programs in public health settings throughout Brazil.

Joseph has been a speaker at major conferences including Yoga Journal, the International Association of Yoga Therapists, the Kripalu Yoga Teacher’s Association, the International Association of Yoga and Ayurveda, and others. He is co-founder and director of the Enchanted Mountain Yoga Center in Garopaba, Brazil, one of the largest Yoga retreat centers in South America.

He is the co-author of the book Yoga Toolbox for Teacher and Students, one of the most widely used materials in teacher training programs in the US and in Brazil, published by Integrative Yoga. He is also co-author of the book Mudras for Healing and Transformation, also published by Integrative Yoga.

In the course, Art and Science of Yoga Therapy, Joseph shares a huge wealth of knowledge that is both educational and experiential. An example is an in depth study of each of the 5 Koshas or 5 layers of our Being and the application of the Koshas as a model for the Yoga Therapist. 

Joseph applies the 5 Kosha model and meticulously breaks down a typical 90 minute Yoga Therapy session into an easy 10 step process for the Yoga Therapist (caregiver) to use with their clients (care receivers). 

The 10 step process includes the use of various intake forms, body maps, breath and posture assessment, Prana Vayus, Chakras, Mudras, affirmations, chanting, Asana, somatics, yoga Nidra, relaxation techniques and guided meditations.

With over 4 decades of experience as a Yogi, Yoga Therapist and elaborative understanding of Sanskrit and yoga philosophy, Joseph delivers 36 hours of lectures, comprehensive handouts and audio recordings.  Students are continually encouraged to question, comment and participate. 

The Art and Science of Yoga Therapy course is an outstanding wealth of information organized in a professional and timely manner with lifetime access!
