Yoga Therapy
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is a holistic practice which addresses management of common conditions and diseases. Techniques used in Yoga Therapy are based on traditional Yoga and consist of physical postures (asana), breath control (pranayama) and meditation. Yogic lifestyle, cleansing techniques, stress management, diet and other healing modalities may also be applied for specific conditions.
Yoga Therapy is appropriate for many chronic conditions and are complementary to conventional medical treatment. I combine therapeutic aspects of Yoga, with consciousness of Ayurveda to prescribe individualistic treatment in order to reduce symptoms, restore balance and increase vitality.
Therapeutic Yoga can typically be integrated with medical treatments you are already receiving and in conjunction with other healing therapies.
