A Body & Soul Approach to a Radiant Life.
Therapeutic Yoga
I am comprehensively trained as a therapeutic yoga instructor, specifically for chronic health conditions. My unique approach bridges the gap between yoga, fitness, pain management, and healing. The application of multiple holistic modalities helps to facilitate true healing of body, mind, and spirit.
What IS yoga therapy?
“Yoga therapy is the appropriate application of yoga teachings and practices in a therapeutic context in order to …engage the client/student’s energy in the direction of desired goals. The goals of yoga therapy include eliminating, reducing, or managing symptoms that cause suffering; improving
function; helping to prevent the occurrence or reoccurrence of underlying causes of illness; and moving toward improved health and wellbeing. Yoga therapy also helps clients/students change their relationship to and identification with their condition…The efficacy of yoga therapy is supported by an increasing body of research evidence, which contributes to the growing understanding and acceptance of its value as a therapeutic discipline.” (International Association of Yoga Therapy, 2012)
