ABOUT YOGA THERAPY...

YOGA THERAPY is increasingly finding a place as a natural system of remedial healthcare in the UK.

The health benefits of regular yoga practice have long been recognised, and many people today attend classes or practise at home.

Although general classes can help to improve over all health and wellbeing, a trained Yoga Therapist offers a more personal approach, and will tailor the physical postures and yoga practices to the needs of the individual, to address specific health problems. The Yoga techniques are not just used to restore health and mobility, but can also be regarded as a preventative measure against possible future health issues, either physical, mental or emotional.

Yoga therapy can be beneficial in treating many conditions, including anxiety and depression, arthritis, high blood pressure, headaches and migraine, back and joint pain, sports injuries, asthma and more.

Yoga therapists are well qualified and experienced yoga teachers, who will also have undergone further in-depth training in the therapeutic uses of yoga, for various medical conditions. The therapist will use a variety of physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation techniques as appropriate, for your specific health issues, and the sessions can either be on a one-to-one basis, or in small groups, to allow for individual attention. Practising at home in between sessions is also part of the process, which encourages you to play an important role in your own recovery.

A significant improvement should be noticed within the first few weeks of starting the therapy, and ongoing sessions and regular home practice or attending yoga classes could bring further continued health benefits over the following months, and possibly throughout your entire life.
