Therapeutic Yoga benefits include pain management, lower blood pressure, increased bone strength, joint mobility, improved immune system, cardiovascular conditioning, reduced stress, psychological well being, improved balance, weight reduction, and much, much more... YOGA THERAPY IS… A therapy combining modern day anatomy, physiology & psychology with the ancient yoga practice of strengthening the body & mind as one. In conjunction with modern medicine, it can help overcome many physical ailments and one of the chief factors undermining health today: an out-of-balance stress-response system. Here are just a few of the proven benefits of yoga: lower blood pressure, increased bone strength & joint mobility, pain relief, improved immune system, cardiovascular conditioning, reduced stress, psychological well being, improved balance, reduced weight and much more. WHAT TO EXPECT… A yoga therapy session is more like working with a physical therapist or rehabilitation specialist than taking a traditional yoga class. You will learn how to access the mind & body’s natural pain suppressing system through: *Breathing techniques to deal with pain & anxiety *A sequence of movements shown to reduce pain & restore physical health *How to listen to your body and develop intuition of what it needs *Deep relaxation to help tap into the body’s natural healing response
