Yoga Therapy is a holistic approach to addressing a full range of musculo-skeletal injuries and limitations. Yoga Therapy is a practice of applying precise alignment in a variety of postures and exercises. Good alignment occurs when the connective tissue
is in a specific position and the bones articulate with each other in such a way that provides for maximum range of motion (ROM) with maximum strength and stamina. Consistent and correct alignment results in noticeable improvements.

HOW does a Yoga Therapy session work?
In a one-hour session, learn alignment specific for the body and any injury or limitations. After postural observation and instruction, practice yoga poses with specific, focused alignment. If needed, light body work will be applied to help understand how to free body-held stress and tension. A customized written routine of 6-8 yoga poses, to practice daily, is then provided.
Recommended: 3 sessions
The first session is focused on lower body alignment. The second session is focused on upper body alignment. The third session is follow-up with refinements on alignment and poses.
In between each session, the student practices instructed alignment in yoga classes, during at-home routine and in daily life activities.
