About Celia
Above all else, I believe in offering you the highest quality education...
I am Celia Roberts, a Senior yoga teacher and therapist with Yoga Australia and Meditation Australia, and among other qualifications, I have a Bio-Medical Science degree.
My education and experience combined has brought me to a place where, above all else, I believe in offering you the highest quality education. This is done through continually revisiting and reinvestigating research, resources, values, and touchstone delivery of teaching in the field of yoga, meditation, and mind-body medicine.
I am inspired by truth, trust, connection, education, mindful living and people from all walks of life. Moreover, I take passion and pride in the ongoing development of our innovative, evidence-based yoga and mediation teacher training programme that, I am excited to announce, will be running through our new organisation: The BioMedical Institute of Yoga and Meditation, BIYOME (pronounced Bi-yo-me).
If you would like to know a little more about me or to discuss in more detail course prospectus or further details, please do not hesitate to:
About BIYOME
BIYOME is a fresh and contemporary cutting-edge concept by Celia Roberts with a profound vision of State-of-the-art science & innovative practice in mind-body medicine.
Founded on the strength and success of YIMI- The Yoga and Integrative Medicine Institute, where Celia is a proud Co-Founder & Director, The BioMedical Institute of Yoga & Meditation's mission is to offer those wanting to become adept in multiple facets of mind-body medicine, the opportunity to connect with experienced and proficient professionals within the industry.

This program has been designed for your ongoing professional and personal development; delivering transformative confidence to students through innovative, evidence-based yoga and mediation resources specifically created to assist you in every way possible to educate others in this ever expanding field.
ABOUT BIYOME COURSES
(YIMI registered courses are YA valid and can be completed with BIYOME.)
Our vocational training will deliver the highest quality educational resources with relevant, accurate, and current state-of-the-art evidence-based science that assist you in creating avenues of communication with health professionals.
Furthermore, our courses are designed for those who are already a health professional and/or educator as our programmes are designed and dedicated to facilitating continued high quality learning to those who wish to build on existing certifications and skills.
As we have already begun to see, yoga and meditation teachers are becoming more and more conversant with the allied health profession. Indeed, we are beginning to see a collective shift in the practices of Yoga & Meditation being utilised to assist people in their journey to wellness.
This shift is what is known to many as Lifestyle Medicine; and it is Lifestyle Medicine that BIYOME courses focus on.
Lifestyle Medicine is a strong component of our basic entry level training, which works towards improved prevention, management, and treatment of ill health and lifestyle-related conditions. ‘Lifestyle-related’ includes a complete picture of biological, psychological, societal and environmental, among other factors. This can also be known as a biopsychosocial approach to wellbeing.
Lifestyle Medicine is a rapidly growing discipline, which incorporates yoga, meditation and mind-body medicine under its large medical umbrella, which is why BIYOME has chosen to take on board their fresh new approach. Your experiential practice and education in these disciplines really matter: it is BIYOME's ambition to compassionately assist you in your life journey and in the lives of many.
