Yoga Therapy is that facet of the ancient science of Yoga that focuses on health and wellness at all levels of the person, physical, psychological and spiritual. Yoga Therapy focuses on the path of yoga as a healing journey that brings balance to the body and mind through an experiential understanding of the primary intention of yoga: awakening of Spirit, our essential nature. The Healing journey is unique to each individual and Yoga Therapy therefore selects, adapts and modifies the practices of yoga appropriately for the individual with respect to age, culture, religion, and specific physical challenges and conditions to facilitate optimal health and healing of the body/mind.

The Yoga therapy process begins with a thorough description of the student’s present status at physical, psychological and spiritual levels. It takes into consideration the student's ayurvedic constitution, specific areas of physical and psychological strength and weakness, the role of stress and areas of separation in the life of the student. It then looks at which facets of yoga would facilitate optimal wellness and finally designs a program of yoga practice to meet the needs and goals of the student.

Our yoga instruction is based in Yoga Therapy. It is Yoga as therapy.  We use the ancient tradition of yoga and all its tools to heal and find relief from dis-ease. Not to be confused with the combining of western psychotherapy and Yoga (Yoga and therapy), which can also be referred to as Yoga Therapy.

Yoga Therapy can be facilitated in either a class with a specific intension, a class with a specific population, or with an individual. Classes are designed in the same format as an individual session. One of the biggest principals in Yoga Therapy is the education of the person receiving the work and the creation of a personal practice. We believe that the only true and lasting healing (not just reducing symptoms) comes from within the individual.
