  An Integrated SetUp At CYTER we are: – Educating future Yoga therapists, – Helping patients recover from their illnesses, – Scientifically researching ‘Hows & Whys’ of Yoga. Joseph & Lilian Le Page, Integrative Yoga Therapy, USA “There are many centers where you can get a Yoga degree, attend a Yoga therapy session or find Yoga research being undertaken. However, to have all three happening in one place is surely innovative.
