Yoga Therapy
YOGA THERAPY invites presence and
developes awareness. It includes the
therapeutic application of yoga practices
to address specific health challenges and
enhance well-being for physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual well-being.
Yoga Therapy is often used as an adjunct
to physical therapy. Specific routines
consisting of yoga postures, breathing
exercises, meditation practices and
relaxation techniques are designed to
meet individual needs.

Yoga Therapy is Personalized
Unlike a yoga class where you may feel
uncomfortable with the pace of the class or your
ability to perform certain poses, Yoga Therapy is
personalized to fit your particular ability and needs.
Focus of Yoga Therapy
• Health and wellness of the physical body
• Balance and integration of the mind and emotions
• Honors the spiritual dimension
• Student-centered and non-sectarian
• Honors equally Mind, Body and Spirit.
Yoga Therapy relates to the needs of the
Individual regarding:
• Specific physical conditions
• Honoring all cultural and religious traditions
• Student's goals or needs
In the midst of the hectic pace that creates a
deep vein of stress and struggle in our busy
lives we find ourselves longing for simplicity
and peace. This longing plants the seeds for a
quest for deeper meaning in our lives, and
healing for body, mind and spirit.
The search leads us to slow down, connect
with that deeper part of ourselves, and listen to
the “still small voice” within.
