What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga. ~International Association of Yoga Therapists
Yoga Therapy uses traditional Yoga practices, including movement, breath work, and mindfulness to treat mindbody issues, and to cultivate a sense of well-being within the client.
Why Yoga Therapy?
Unlike a traditional yoga class, this is not a vinyasa based practice, though movement may be prescribed. Yoga Therapy is lead by a Certified Yoga Therapist in individual sessions, or small group sessions, with the client's specific healing goals in mind. Through intake and inquiry, a personalized practice will be used to target the client's specific healing needs for optimal health and wellness.
Who Benefits from Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy can be used to treat a number of conditions, including physical pain, depression, anxiety, and grief. However, the one thing all of these conditions have in common is stress. Through stress management the client begins to discover how these conditions are often intertwined with one another. Done in a safe setting, with a qualified Yoga Therapist, Yoga Therapy can enhance one's quality of life.
