Soon-to-be PYT graduate and veteran physical therapist, Lynne Ray, talks with PYTI about her experience in the program. Visit Lynne Ray and fellow PYTI graduate, Christine Roper, at their new Charlotte, NC private practice. Read more about how they have grown a successful practice in an urban area. 

PYTI has been life-changing for me, personally and professionally. When I began the program I was working as a traditional, western-trained physical therapist at a SNF and private outpatient clinic. I always wanted “more” for my patients, and now I am well equipped with “more.” I no longer look at my patients as a unilateral, single-focused diagnosis, but address them using the Pentagon of Wellness from the program.  This has meshed very well with my new training in MFR, and opened HUGE doors for me.

I have started a private practice with a fellow PYT graduate and good friend of 20 years, and I enjoy every minute of teaching the medical therapeutic yoga method to my students, clients, and patients each day. I am teaching 6 PYT classes a week, we have hired another PT, who will be starting the PYTI program, in order to help meet the growing demands of our business. I am learning to also balance my pitta nature through all of this!

PYTI has changed my life for the better, has changed my children’s life for the better and has taught me to look at everything and everyone through a different lens. An open, loving, compassionate, forgiving, flexible lens.

Thank you, Ginger.
