Yoga Therapy / Somatics 1-1

Yoga Therapy is an individual therapeutic Yoga session that helps the client to address imbalances in the mind and body. 

The Yoga therapist assesses the client with an initial consultation and postural body reading. The client is then taught the use of specific postures, movements, breathing exercises or meditative and relaxation techniques, that are deemed suitable and helpful for that individual. 

Through careful examination by the teacher and through continual feedback from the student, a routine is developed to allow the individual to progress on their journey towards complete holistic health.

By providing simple, clear and coherent instructions in the use of movement, postures and breath, the student is guided towards self maintaining optimum health.

As the needs of each person are different, so the practice given will be different for each person. Yoga Therapy is not meant as a substitute for conventional health treatment or practices, but rather, serves as an accompanying  practice that helps bring balance back to the whole being. It is an holistic self practice. A return to wholeness.

The first session lasts around 90 minutes. Following sessions are approximately 60 – 75 minutes.

Therapeutic Yoga can help treat many common ailments, such as back pain, neck ache, stiffness, arthritis, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, and is specifically helpful in dealing with stress.

Yoga Therapy can improve your own yoga practice by giving you the space to experience how you feel and then respond to that. Learning yoga in a one to one setting can also be helpful for finding modifications to your own practice, especially if you have injuries or disabilities that cannot be dealt with in a group class setting.
