What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy transforms your world. There is so much more to yoga than balancing on one foot or stretching muscles while chanting. When one beings to practice yoga, they notice changes begin to happen beyond the physical. Consequently, there is less anticipation of “tomorrow,” less lamenting over “what was.” Above all else, there is an acceptance of what is right in front of us. Have you ever heard of this new age phrase called “being in the present?” Yoga therapy is a technology that unravels the layers of our lives, like a Russian nesting doll. Revealing how each layer fits (or doesn’t) fit properly. As a result, it is a practice that helps us bring the systems of the mind and body into harmony.
Anyone that is looking for a natural and pragmatic approach to balancing their stress is it candidate for yoga therapy.
What you will experience and how you will benefit from your session
Yoga therapy works on exposing patterns. When we explore patterns, we observe whether they are working for us or not, therefore learning how to better manage stress.
- patterns of behavior
- Physical patterns
- Emotional patterns
Learning, through exploration, how these patterns serve one’s purpose. The session may be more dialog as you examine stressors and triggers. This therapeutic practice uses yogic concepts more than poses to unearth truth.
Therapeutic Yoga is developed to provide practical tools to handle the inevitable hindrances that life brings to us regularly. Under the canopy of yoga lives a host of disciplines that help us regulate the insidious nature of tension and anxiety:
- Yoga poses and functional anatomy
- Breathing techniques
- Multiple levels of mediation
- Visualization
- Personal and multidimensional self-study
