What is Yoga & Yoga Therapy?
Yoga and Yoga Therapy can be effective methods to reduce stress and anxiety and unlock pain and tension. They are ancient, rich sciences of self-exploration and self-development incorporating a broad range of practices and techniques that can be tailored to suit men and women of any age or experience level and can fit individual needs.
The physical postures of Yoga move the whole body — its muscles, ligaments and joints — through full ranges of motion. Combined with breath work, relaxation techniques and meditation, Yoga brings balance to the whole body. Anyone can “do” yoga, and everybody is a yoga body. You do not have to be flexible to get started!
Chronic stress can lead to a variety of health and emotional problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, Yoga can be an effective method to reduce stress and anxiety. Other health benefits of a regular Yoga practice include:
- Lower blood pressure
- Improved circulation
- Back pain relief
- Strength & flexibility
- Improved balance & coordination
- Better breathing
The gentle, systematic healing practices of Yoga Therapy can be effective for many specific health concerns such as scoliosis, back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, cancer, surgery recovery, anxiety and emotional well-being, injuries, and range-of-motion issues.
