The Minded Institute (TMI)
The Minded Institute (TMI) is a world-leader in providing expert yoga therapy education and training to yoga and health professionals to work with mental and physical health conditions. The UK-based institute is known for working at the interface between yoga therapy, mindfulness, neurophysiology, psychotherapeutic principles, and evidence-based practice. TMI is also actively involved in lobbying for the inclusion of yoga therapy and yoga in the NHS.
Today, the organisation is comprised of two entities:
• Minded Professional Training Ltd., an educational not-for-profit offering Professional Diplomas for those wanting to become Minded Yoga Therapists.
• Minded CPD Ltd., providing expert short training courses and continuing professional development (CPD) in therapeutic yoga.
Throughout this website and the prospectus for their Professional Diploma in Yoga Therapy, they refer to The Minded Institute and/or ‘Minded’ as an umbrella term for both organisations.
Mission Statement:
Sometimes, in the midst of suffering, unexpected and amazing things can happen.
They know because it’s these very circumstances that led to the formation of The Minded Institute. They have had help along the way from some amazing people, they have learnt a great deal, and they owe a huge debt to the individuals whose knowledge and compassion helped to give us hope. It’s now time for us to repay this debt to you.
That’s why everyone at The Minded Institute shares one simple, unifying mission:
To share, educate and help every person towards improving their own mental and physical health.
It’s likely that each one of us will experience challenges with their emotional health and physical health at some point in life. Some will be trivial, some serious, all will be unique; but within each of us lays an innate ability to promote their very own emotional healing.
By combining the ancient practices of mindfulness and yoga, with modern, evidence based scientific research, The Minded Institute is dedicated to revolutionising the perception and treatment of mental and physical health. Together, they can all be empowered to promote social wellbeing throughout the world.
In conjunction with their Yoga Therapy courses, The Minded Institute is also committed to research, innovation, education, growth and raising awareness of mind body healing.
These essential components enable us to understand the various benefits that their training programs have on the human condition, while ensuring that people from all walks of life have access to the transformative benefits of yoga therapy.
Their greatest hope is that through a combination of compassion, purpose and determination, they can continue to provide increasingly effective ways of helping those who are suffering from mental and physical health difficulties, while teaching others to do the same.
