YOGA THERAPY
“Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalised assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management and yoga practices for individuals or small groups.”
The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT)
Yoga Therapy has evolved through the natural combination of traditional yoga with modern medicine.
By tailoring yoga practices to individual needs, Yoga Therapy creates a practice specific to the client and assists in the treatment of various medical conditions including anxiety, back pain, arthritis, hypertension, heart conditions, asthma, digestive problems, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), fibromyalgia, RSI, migraine, insomnia, anxiety, depression and stress.
Yoga Therapy can also promote positive health in people of all ages. Yoga Therapy can be practiced in conjunction with medical treatments you are already receiving, and also in tandem with other complementary therapies. No prior experience of yoga is necessary.
