Yoga therapy is an approach to holistic healing that applies the ancient wisdom and practices of yoga to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Yoga therapy is individualized.
It involves a process of intake and assessment to determine areas of imbalance and a customized application of yoga practices – physical postures, breath patterns, and meditation techniques– to guide you towards your specific goals. Because it is a tailored approach, it is best experienced one-on-one or in a small group setting with other individuals who have similar therapeutic needs.
Yoga therapy is integrative.
It is founded in yoga philosophy, at the root of which is the relationship between the body, mind, and essence or spirit.
Unlike other healing modalities which focus on either physical health or mental/emotional health, yoga therapy addresses the whole person. A yoga therapy practice might include a combination of adapted yogic tools to ease discomfort in the physical body, soothe the nervous system, calm and focus the mind, and connect you with an overall feeling of vitality and well-being.
Yoga therapy is empowering.
Yoga therapy encourages your ongoing exploration, self-reflection and commitment to practice in between sessions. This ensures your practices evolve to meet your evolving needs. And setting aside time to work towards your wellness goals establishes a powerful current in your life, building momentum around resilience, self-care & self-efficacy, all of which are imperative to healing.
How is YOGA THERAPY different from YOGA?
Yoga Therapy includes assessment and intake and a highly individualized application of yoga practices. It is best experienced one-on-one or in a small group setting with other individuals who have similar therapeutic needs.
Group yoga classes offer a generalized approach to yoga. While group yoga classes are a wonderful introduction to yoga and provide the benefit of practicing in community, the particular sequence of postures (asana), pranayama (breath patterns), meditation techniques and mantra, are not selected to meet any particular therapeutic need.
Who can benefit from YOGA THERAPY?
Literally anyone can benefit from yoga therapy, whether they are seeking relief from physical ailments, tools to manage mental and emotional health, deeper awareness of self, or all of the above.
