Know VaYU

Care that doesn’t make you choose

VaYU advances authentic yoga through research, graduate education, and partnership. Working alongside healthcare professionals and community leaders, we hope to bring that work to Phoenix.

Our Teaching, Research and Wellness (TReW) Centers unite modern medicine, Ayurveda, and Yoga Therapy under one roof — close to home, so that care is within reach. Join us at our upcoming event to learn how you can help bring a TReW Center to Phoenix.

Support VaYU for what it stands for — healthcare for humanity.

What a TReW Center brings

One roof
Modern medicine, Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy practised together rather than in parallel.
Evidence first
Grounded in VaYU’s graduate research and published work, not claims.
Close to home
Built with local clinicians and community leaders, in the city it serves.
Teaching built in
A training site for the next generation of yoga therapists and integrative clinicians.
