Yoga Therapy

Yoga embodies a wide range of mind/body practices with a focus on the interaction between the nervous, endocrine & immune systems. Yoga Therapy tailors these to the health of the individual, applying different treatment protocols for different people.  Helping to reduce symptoms, manage pain, restore balance, increase strength & improve resiliency.

Yoga Therapy engages in a holistic approach to assisting an individual’s health, & will encompass the well-being of the whole person rather than focusing on a single condition.

You do not need to have prior yoga experience to benefit from Yoga Therapy.
