WHAT IS YOGA THERAPY?

 

The International Association of Yoga Therapy defines Yoga Therapy as “the process of empowering individuals to progress towards improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga” (IAYT, 2012). 

 

Yoga Therapists use our understanding of biomedical systems and health conditions from a yogic perspective to work holistically to help meet the individual needs of the client. We assess physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, so that we can select appropriate practices based on the current condition and desired outcome. 

 

Clients often come to Yoga Therapy to relieve symptoms (suffering), and/or to improve function. In addition to physical aspects such as increased strength, flexibility, and balance, and addressing physical pain and impairment, Yoga Therapy offers tools for:

 

• Stress

• Fatigue

• Insomnia

• Cognitive impairment

• Depression

• Anxiety

• MANY MORE!!!

 

Through the applications of Yoga Therapy, we have the opportunity to create change on all levels: physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We can promote health and wellbeing, connect to Self, and ultimately transform our lives.
