Your Story Matters

 

A typical yoga class may last for an hour, contain up to 20-50 people at a time and consist mostly of asana; and save for perhaps one or two variations of a pose, the class sequence is often not made with the individual needs of participants in mind. The truth is, it is difficult (and unlikely) to provide for the needs of all students at the same time during a public group yoga class. 

​

Yoga therapy sessions will often last longer than a regular yoga class to allow for dialogue between therapist and client - your story is important! Each session will begin with screening and conversation to identify the health concerns that the client would like to address and to explore reasons why the client is seeking therapy. Following an assessment of client's lifestyle and physical capability, an offering or course of treatment(s) are created for the client with their specific needs in mind. 

 

Yoga therapy provides an opportunity for individuals who are seeking to heal, improve and/or manage symptoms relating to the mind, body and soul; using yoga techniques including asana (posture), meditation & visualization and pranayama (breath control), that specifically matches their needs, as a tool. Yoga therapy is a holistic way to approach health and overall well-being and often (when necessary), a certified yoga therapist/therapeutic yoga teacher will collaborate with other health professionals that a client is working with in order to create and provide the most effective offerings that will continue to empower clients and support their recovery and healing.
