Yoga Therapy uses yoga practices such as asana, meditation and mindfulness to help empower the practitioner to alleviate physical, emotional or mental conditions. Sessions are usually one 2 one with your yoga therapist where you will be guided towards a practice that meets your unique needs.

How is Yoga Therapy different to Yoga?

Rather than focusing on general wellbeing, Yoga Therapy targets your needs specifically to reduce the symptoms you may be suffering.

What can I expect from a Yoga Therapy session?

Every Yoga therapy session is different and depends on the needs of each person. At your first session you will discuss your needs with your Yoga therapist who will explore with you through ancient methods of asana, mediation, pranayama and mindfulness the best way for you to find transformation.

This quote from the great yoga therapy master TVK Desikachar sums it up beautifully

Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate his/her suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner. Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person at all levels.
