Health, viewed from the perspective of Yoga Therapy, is unique because Yoga Therapy looks at all aspects of a person's life rather than focusing on a specific body part or body system. Yoga Therapy is a safe way to work with the natural predisposition of your body and mind to optimize your health.

 

Yoga Therapy is a relatively new modality that applies techniques from yoga, mindfulness, and coaching, combined with extensive biomedical knowledge, knowledge of Ayurveda, and nutrition, in a personalized approach. The combination of techniques and knowledge, along with the individualized approach, makes Yoga Therapy an incredibly effective tool for improving overall health in a holistic, non-invasive, and complementary way.

The specific structure of your Yoga Therapy program depends on what you need to enhance your health and overall well-being.

A Yoga Therapy program consists of (a combination of) the following elements:

• Physical postures and exercises tailored to your body and fully within your physical abilities, taking into account any pains or discomfort.

• Breathing exercises to promote optimal (functional) breathing and improve energy management.

• Relaxation exercises and Restorative Yoga.a

• Coaching to gain more insight into yourself, your patterns, who you are, and why you do what you do. This allows you to make new conscious choices that align better with you.

• Meditation and Yoga Nidra.

In each session, I will help you focus on what you can do, what feels good, rather than what you cannot do (yet), what is painful, or what you are not yet ready for. It can be very daunting to work on your health, especially when you're not feeling well. In the sessions, our starting point is always to focus on what requires the most attention for you at that moment. From there, we explore together the effect it has on you and how it may also influence other parts of your body and impact how you feel.
