Postural Yoga and Movement Therapy

Yoga as Therapy

Are the responsibilities of contemporary life getting to you? Chronic health conditions like high blood pressure, heart difficulties, pain and mobility concerns, and even cancers are being linked by research to the strains and stressors of everyday life.

It's simple to become mired in a busyness cycle and lose sight of how it affects our wellbeing. However, what if there was an additional strategy that might encourage a more balanced, health-conscious lifestyle and function in conjunction with your current medical care?

I'd like to introduce you to Yoga Therapy, which goes beyond the clichéd yoga positions you see on social media. Yoga Therapy combines meditation, yoga, and associated disciplines. As a certified yoga therapist, I provide a customized strategy to deal with the underlying causes of chronic health concerns and create a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

How Our Yoga Therapy Helps

Yoga therapy, tailored in a personalized plan for each client utilizes:

  1. Asanas (Postures): Gentle, targeted postures to improve flexibility, range of motion, and joint health. These postures are modified to suit your limitations and gradually increase in intensity as you progress.
  2. Pranayama (Breathing Exercises): Breathing exercises help manage stress to address the stress issue behind many health issues. Pranayama may help reduce pain perception and improve well-being by calming the mind and body.
  3. Meditation: Meditation techniques like mindfulness help cultivate a deeper awareness of your body and sensations. This allows you to observe challenges without judgment and develop a positive relationship with your health.
  4. Mindfulness: I help you cultivate mindfulness throughout your day to identify and address stress triggers. Being able to respond to these stress triggers less reactively promotes a sense of self-control and empowers you to manage your health more effectively.
