Yoga Therapy
What is it
In former times, yoga instruction for adults was not in groups but only ever on a one-to-one basis, so as to adapt to the specific needs of each person. Today, personal instruction is still the ideal way to begin or to deepen one’s personal yoga practice; it allows for individual needs, desires, abilities, and even schedules: the opposite of “one size fits all”!
When it is used wisely, yoga has the power to support wellness, healing and personal transformation, whether you are simply looking to stay healthy, to recover from an injury, or to deal with a chronic condition.
In our approach, we also work with patients and health care providers to address a range of conditions and support healing.
Here are a few examples of situations where yoga therapy forms an integral part of a health management program, in some cases in consultation with health care providers:

menopausal symptoms |
sleep disorders |
depression |
recovery from injuries and trauma |
back pain |
arthritis |
disorders of the nervous system |
scoliosis |
high blood pressure |
diabetes |
eating disorders |
hormonal imbalances |
pregnancy |
