Integrated Movement Therapy^® is for YOU! Life is full of challenges, many of them ordinary, occasionally extraordinary, and when we are facing these, we often find we need an outside perspective, some practical tools or some time and space set aside for taking care of ourselves. IMT is a therapy approach rooted in partnership wherein each individual's unique healing process is allowed to unfold. Many people who have benefited from IMT are just "regular" people needing some support as they move through a difficult time. No matter your age, your ability, your struggle, IMT can help you and facilitate your growth.

Integrated Movement Therapy^® is the holistic therapy approach developed at The Samarya Center by Master's degreed therapists who are also certified yoga teachers. It is an approach for all people, from infancy to adulthood, that uses yoga's philosophical, physical and spiritual framework in conjunction with conventional neuro-physiological perspectives to address the challenges of being human, from depression and anxiety to degenerative conditions and life-threatening illness. Sometimes people use IMT in conjunction with other therapies; sometimes IMT takes the place of other therapies; and sometimes IMT simply stands alone or is the first place someone has turned for help. We can help anybody!

The IMT approach is based on three overarching philosophies: that the student is already perfect and whole, that the student and teacher are both unlimited in their abilities to heal and that no part of the body/mind/spirit complex, and no part of the brain, works alone.

Supporting these beliefs is an empirically sound, brain-based therapy in which the therapist combines skills from conventional clinical fields with yoga philosophy and practice to introduce and integrate IMT's six core principles (structure and continuity, physical stimulation, language stimulation, social interaction, self-calming and direct self-esteem building) to help the student reach his or her highest potential.
