Yoga is quickly becoming very popular all over the world. For the person who struggles with a restless mind Yoga is calming. For a person who wants to lose weight and become more fit Yoga can support these goals and desires. For a person who suffers with a disease or ailment Yoga is a perfect complement to a medical treatment plan.

Yoga Therapy is the fusion of all three modalities (Breath, Mind and Body) where a Yoga Therapist will create a personalized treatment plan that incorporates Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath control techniques), Dhyana (meditation techniques), Kriyas (internal cleansing techniques) and Sithilikarana Vyayama (loosening exercises.).

According to IAYT ( International Association of Yoga Therapists), they  define Yoga Therapy as: “… is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga.” https://www.iayt.org/page/ContemporaryDefinition

Yoga Therapy focuses on all aspects of a human being. When using Yoga as a therapeutic tool, this technique, which is steeped in the ancient wisdom of Yoga (as a science), allows the recipient to focus on healing all the physical, psychological and spiritual needs one may have.

Yoga Therapy allows the mind/body complex to begin a healing journey, setting up the human container for a lifelong pathway to full success. It is said in the ancient wisdom of yoga that Happiness is our birth-right. To be happy means our minds are free from judgement, our bodies are free from disease and our breath is free from obstacles. Yoga Therapy offers a unique and individual approach, which cannot be experienced in a group setting.
