Yoga Therapy What is Yoga Therapy?
However, you don't need to be sick to benefit from yoga therapy. Personal Yoga Therapy, because of its holistic approach to wellness, has an amazing effect on healthy bodies as well. Enhanced creativity, stronger focus, wider range of emotional expression, balanced relationships, greater fulfillment at work, living your purpose, and a true experience of 'connection to all' are just some additional benefits that are possible. Originally
the essence of yoga was transmitted from teacher to student
in an individualized setting. Group classes did not exist. Very
little was written down and the discipline was passed on through
the oral tradition and intuitive pathways. Personal Yoga Therapy
seeks to continue the traditional ratio of one teacher to one
student with the focus on personal development, transformation,
and healing.
PERSONAL YOGA THERAPY is a yoga program designed specifically for you and your body. Its purpose is as unique as you are. Whether your intention is for better health, recovery from stress, an expanded connection to spirit, or support for transformation, Personal Yoga Therapy can help. Inner space explorations can sometimes stir up the unconscious and help us to see places we don't often visit consciously. For this reason, it is important that people who do this work are prepared, willing and emotionally ready to do so. Self-study (svadhaya) and tapas or discipline are required and commitment to yourself and your process is important. Sessions can be scheduled one at a time, or in blocks of 3 or 6 sessions. Hours are available weekdays, weekends, and evenings. The first session is usually 90-minutes long and includes creating an intention for our work together. Subsequent sessions vary in length and may include: guided imagery, body mapping, art, astrology, breathwork, and other complimentary practices to support your personal journey. All sessions include hatha yoga and meditation. It is mandatory that a self-assessment form be completed before the first session if applicable. Personal
Yoga can be scheduled for one or two participants. Family programs
are also available. Yoga experience is not necessary and beginners
are always welcome.

Yoga,
the original body, mind, spiritual approach to life, reflects
a 5000-year-old tradition designed to evoke higher states of
consciousness. Along the road to enlightenment yoga practitioners
discovered improved health and sense of well being. Out of this
evolved yoga therapy, the application of yoga towards health
and wellness. However, yoga therapy is not a treatment for a
condition. Instead it creates an educational experience of yoga
whereby the client's own innate healer is stimulated. Yoga teaches
us that dis-ease or illness, be it physical, mental or emotional,
begins at the most subtle level of the body and then moves through
layers or koshas until eventually the dis-ease manifests in
our lives as either illness, accident, or crisis. Yoga, used
as a healing tool, addresses all of the layers of the body,
and seeks to create balance and unity. When practiced diligently,
yoga can create healing energy and move into the roots of an
issue, thereby creating opportunities for deep healing.
