Yoga Therapy is a form of holistic healing or integrated medicine that uses the ancient science of yoga to enhance health and well-being. It adapts the practice of yoga to address specific health conditions as well as preventative habits in groups or with individuals. Students are given a range of tools which they continue to develop with their teacher and on their own. The tools and techniques of therapeutic yoga may include physical poses (asana), breath work (pranayama), meditation, mudra, imagery, deep relaxation (Yoga Nidra) and Ayurveda. Each of these traditional facets of yoga work in conjunction to reconnect the client to him/herself at all levels – from the physical body to the breath, the energetic body, mind and emotions and the spirit. This approach sees the human being as an integrated body-mind-spirit system that is at its best when all parts are in a state of dynamic balance. Deep level changes do not happen overnight. Over time, however, yoga therapy can create permanent healing to all the levels of our being. A half hour home practice each day can bring significant changes.
