Mental Health Awareness Month began May 1 and Yoga Alliance is proud to partner with BetterHelp to offer its members one month of free virtual therapy. Yoga Alliance members must claim this offer by May 31, 2024, but it can be redeemed at any time.  

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), in the United States 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year, and only half of them receive treatment. 

Many individuals, including yoga professionals, understand the positive impact yoga can have on one’s mental health, but are often reluctant to pursue traditional mental health treatment like therapy. At the same time, individuals more familiar with traditional treatment may not consider yoga. Starting with its members, this limited partnership is just one way Yoga Alliance is establishing institutional partnerships as a step toward a more integrated approach to address access to mental health support.   

BetterHelp was founded in 2013 to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Today, it is the world’s largest therapy service — providing professional, affordable, and tailored therapy in a convenient online format. BetterHelp’s network of over 30,000 licensed therapists has helped millions of people take ownership of their mental health and work towards their personal goals. As the unmet need for mental health services continues to grow, BetterHelp is committed to expanding access to therapy globally.  

This offer is only available to current Yoga Alliance members that are new BetterHelp users. Existing BetterHelp users or former Yoga Alliance members are not eligible for this promotion.
