Yoga Therapy

Interested in learning more about how yoga therapy sessions could support you? Fill out below:

“Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga”. -International Association of Yoga Therapists

“Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate his/her suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner. Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person at all levels.” - TKV Desikachar

Yoga is a powerful tool for treating physical, emotional and mental concerns. The term “yoga teacher” is currently unregulated, and certifications may or may not include training in safe anatomy, applied biomechanics and somatics. Yoga therapists are trained in the mechanics of movement, injury repair (rehab), injury prevention (prehab), nervous system regulation, somatic trauma healing, and myofascial restructuring.

Yoga therapy sessions are designed as a complementary practice. Ideally we work alongside the support of other health professionals; doctors, physical/occupational therapists, mental health support, etc. We bridge the gap from the diagnosis, or focused treatment, to a holistic application. Movement therapy will help folks gets back to doing the daily acivities they love with less pain and risk of re-injury. Mental and emotional therapy will help folks integrate nervous system regulation and stress-management tools into daily interactions.
