What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga Therapy is  a highly individualised approach to address various conditions: whether you want to relieve symptoms of an illness, manage stress, or learn to take charge of your own well-being, yoga therapy empowers you to move towards improved well being.   We work together to design practices that are specific to you and your lifestyle, using the tools yoga offers: pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, and asanas (postures).

In the "From Overwhelmed to Grounded" coaching program, Yoga Therapy is key to develop the awareness necessary to initiate true transformation!

How is Yoga Therapy different from a Private yoga class?

Yoga Therapy is not about teaching you poses. It's about assessing your condition, and to provide you with a yoga practice that will evolve with you and your lifestyle.  Most people coming to yoga therapy have not practiced much yoga, if any at all. They are looking to become empowered to take an active role in their self care, in a sustainable manner.

What to expect

During our first session we discuss your concerns, lifestyle, health history, and set  your goals. A postural assessment may be necessary depending on your area of concern and goals. Based on the information gathered, I will design a practice specifically for you (your "homework") that will be sent by email in a printable pdf format. The practice takes into account your lifestyle and generally doesn't exceed ten minutes. This initial session can last between 60 to 75 minutes.

During the follow up sessions we discuss the evolution of your symptoms, make changes or progress the practice. You learn to become responsible for your own well-being, and  As a yoga therapist, I am here to support  you in your  self-care journey for the long term. Contact me anytime during the program with your questions, or anything that you have noticed. 

Regular practice is key to success. Just like the doctor gives you a script, the yoga therapist gives you a practice. Yoga therapy is not like western medicine: the benefits might take a while to manifest, but in the process you are empowered to take charge of your health and wellbeing in a supportive, non judgemental environment.
