Yoga Therapy is hands on lengthening and interactive manipulation of the body. Gentle pressure points are addressed as the muscles are stretched deeply, increasing circulation, lymphatic drainage and bringing a sense of levity and comfort to the body.

Much of it can be done with you resting on the floor, or through yoga asana. You will learn proper positioning while alleviating muscular tension. During your yoga therapy treatment, specific movements and proper positioning will be explained and taught to advance your traditional yoga practice. Even long term pain can be diminished and recurrent physical tensions can be reduced significantly.

Yoga Therapy is a wonderful treatment in reducing muscular pain and improving overall ease in the body. People with fibromyalgia, MS, and recurrent migraines have benefited significantly from yoga therapy treatments. It also does wonders for the traditional overworked and overstressed human body.

Yoga Therapy is amazing for athletes and avid yogis as well as couch potatoes.

“Assisted stretching can help increase range of motion, reduce pain and reopen neuromuscular pathways in everyone from world-class athletes to post-surgical patients”
