Yoga Therapy
Discover what is possible through yoga!
Yoga Therapy supports people, who are struggling with health issues, feel better and more confident in their bodies, using modified yoga-based practices, so that they can feel whole again.
What you can expect:
Yoga Therapy sessions are offered in a one-on-one setting (at your home or in studio) and are personalized to your needs and goals. No previous yoga experience is necessary. Yoga therapy is all about you and the tools and techniques adapt themselves to where you are at and what you want to create for yourself.
In each session you’ll be guided through a personalized yoga practice designed to first evaluate what might be going on and then to address your therapeutic goals from there. Your goals may be more specific, such as improving range of motion or stress management skills, or they may be more global such as creating a moment for yourself to move, breathe and learn about yourself.
With continued sessions, you’ll learn yoga postures, personalized movements and breathing practices. You’ll learn how to focus, breathe more mindfully, meditate and gain a deeper awareness of your own potential and experience yourself from new and exciting perspectives.
