About Yoga
The practice of yoga can have a variety of benefits. It can reduce stress, tone the body, increase your energy and reduce depression and anxiety. We believe that yoga can fit the needs of anyone who wishes to try it. You can have any kind of body type, be any age, be fit or unfit, have injuries, be flexible, or for that matter, feel mostly inflexible. All bodies are different, and yoga is as much about getting stronger as it is about becoming more flexible.
Even more, it is a process of awakening the connection of our deepest consciousness to our true selves.
About Yoga Therapy
The International Association of Yoga Therapists has recently released their definition of yoga therapy as being:
YOGA THERAPY is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the philosophy and practice of Yoga.
It is thought that all yoga is therapy-but the practice of Yoga Therapy as a discipline is the application of the traditional tools of yoga (such as postures, breathing techniques, meditation and self-awareness). As an ancient science of health, well-being and self- discovery, Yoga Therapy addresses a specific goal or concern of an individual.
Using yoga therapy, some of the areas which have benefited from the sessions are:
low back pain
postural changes and structural misalignment
migraines
insomnia
depression and anxiety
stress reduction
accident/injury/surgery recovery
creating programs which bring overall balance and wellbeing
Yoga Therapy has been proven to relieve and reverse many disorders and diseases, and new studies are being conducted which confirm the healing function of Yoga Therapy-what the yogi's and sages of the past have always known is now being supported by research!
