MORE ON YOGA THERAPY?

Yoga Therapy is a holistic and natural approach to health care. It is founded on the recognition that our physical and emotional states, our attitudes, our dietary and behavioural patterns, our lifestyle and our environment are all intimately linked. They effect each other and our health.

The origins of Yoga Therapy are derived from the yoga traditions of Patanjali and Ayurvdic. As a contemporary practice these ancient traditions are integrated with Western medicine and psychological knowledge.

Using Yoga Therapy as part of a healing journey is the application of a variety of Yoga techniques and practices that help manage health challenges.

• It offers a sense of self management and self regulation through reducing symptoms, restoring balance, increasing vitality, and improving attitude.

• It supports health and wellness at all levels: physical, psychological, and spiritual.

• It is a path that empowers you towards greater freedom from the sense of illness and disease and the limitations it may bring.

• It is a journey that offers a sense of balance within the self through applying and developing an understanding of the primary intention of Yoga: to calm the body and mind.

Yoga Therapy is a personalised therapeutic practice adapted to the needs of the individual. After an initial assessment, and exploration of various practices, you set goals and a guide for a home practice.

Yoga Therapy does not offer a diagnosis or a cure. It does not replace other treatments but works in conjunction with and compliments western health care.

Yoga Therapy does not require yoga experience.
