Yoga Therapy applies a multitude of yogic principles, methods, and techniques designed to address specific energetic, emotional and physical imbalances and disturbances within. In its ideal application, Yoga Therapy is preventive in nature, as is Yoga itself, but it is also restorative and self-assuring to many individuals. 

 

One of the many great assets of Yoga Therapy is that the practice is adapted to the needs of each individual. The Yoga Therapist can help you with specific or persistent health problems or with limitations not usually addressed in a group class.

 

Stemming from the tradition of Patanjali in combination with the Science of Ayurveda (the science of life), the Yoga Therapist works closely with the student to create an intelligent practice with daily rituals to support your unique constitution and pattern of energy.

 

You will receive a personalized and ever-evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses imbalances in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary way. The therapist will lay the groundwork for the enlivening of energy that creates an inner environment supporting balance within the whole; the body, the mind and the spirit.    

 

Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and the use of herbs. The therapist will educate and enable you to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one’s own individual constitution, teaching you how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance.
