Yoga Therapy
About
- Yoga therapy involves synchronizing the breath with a series of postures.
- It is a moving meditation that helps us develop a strong, light body and a quiet steady mind.
- Unlike group yoga classes where there is one routine that is applied to everyone, in yoga therapy we develop a program that is tailored to your unique goals, interests, abilities, constitution and stage in life.
- You will find increased vitality, joy and and grace as you learn to connect the body and breath, staying present with your thoughts, feelings and sensations as you strengthen and stretch your body in a loving way.
- Ultimately the practice becomes a balm that soothes all wounds and brings deep healing.
