Larry Payne, PhD Yoga Therapist - Founder of Samata International

Dear Ones,

I want to share a event I will to be part of.

The Extraordinary Yoga Teacher Summit is a free gathering devoted to supporting yoga teachers in returning to what actually sustains them: depth in personal practice, Steadiness in teaching, and a real relationship with the Wisdom they carry.

It is not a summit about trends, credentials, or building a following. It is about what makes a yoga teacher genuinely trustworthy to their students over time.

I chose to contribute because this gathering is oriented toward those qualities.

My session is titled: Yoga Therapy and Longevity. Keeping Students Safe and Strong. 
 
 
The summit runs June 6–14, 2026, and is free to attend. I would love for you to be there.

I will be teaching 12:30 EST,  9:30 PST on this  Sunday June 7th.


Larry

Next Week! Last Chance to Join in Santa Fe.

Hi I’m Dr. Larry Payne founding President of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, which I’m proud to say is now in 50 countries.
There are now 100K yoga teachers in the United States, and unfortunately the majority of them have learned how to teach the young and restless. Yoga is meant for three stages of yoga life, a building stage, a maintaining stage, and a one-on-one stage.

Those of you coming to this workshop are in that maintaining stage and it would be nice for you to know that you are the majority of the population. There is over 100 million of you, and I don’t want you to get injured in yoga classes.
So come join us at the Modern Elder Academy, Santa Fe, New Mexico. I’ll show you how to do safe practices and get the very most out of Yoga for the rest of your life.

May 14-17
