Why Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is geared towards our individual needs as opposed to a group yoga class. Each individual has different needs.
Yoga provides us with a toolkit to help support regulation and resilience of the mind and body. Yoga therapy is the use of these tools by a trained Yoga Therapist.
Yoga Therapy can help reveal the root cause of our stress, suffering, pain, disease or illness.
Yoga Therapy provides tools for healthy individuals, helping us to reach our highest potential
Yoga Therapy complements physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, psychotherapy and more.
Yoga Therapy is very different than a yoga class. All yoga can be beneficial, but Yoga Therapists have in depth training to access and keep clients safe.
