How can yoga therapy help you?
So many of the conditions that we deal with involve a set of common symptoms: pain, stress, sleeplessness, fatigue.
Yoga Therapy can help with all of these symptoms because the treatment approach focuses on the person, not the condition.
Your Structural Health: Strengthen muscles, improve balance, increase flexibility. Viniyoga is especially helpful with back and neck pain, but can address all kinds of muscle and joint issues and conditions - injury, surgery, dysfunction.
Your Physiological Health: Maintain healthy systems: digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, immune, endocrine, and reproductive.
Your Mental Health: Maintain a clear and balanced outlook.
Your Inner Health: No matter what your spiritual or inner direction, yoga can calm and quiet the mind so that you may more easily connect to your sources of inspiration.
