What is yoga therapy and how is yoga therapy different from yoga or from therapy?
Yoga therapy is unique in that many people come to yoga for the physical aspect.
To become more balanced.
For a better stretch,
To gain more flexibility.
Really about the exercise.
Yoga therapy is about the whole person and what makes it unique is that it's catered just to you.
Most yoga therapy is done privately,
One-on-one,
But yoga therapy can also be done in small group settings.
In that case,
The whole group is coming to yoga therapy for the same purpose.
So what are some of the benefits and the reasons why someone may choose to go to a yoga therapy session or take therapeutic yoga classes?
It might be for stress management,
For chronic fatigue,
Insomnia.
Somebody may come to Yola Therapy for rehabilitation purposes.
For recovery post injury.
For chronic illness,
Chronic pain.
So many reasons and so many different ways that yoga therapy can help with any of that.
So what makes it different is that it's not just about the physical aspect.
Yoga therapy does not require a yoga mat.
It does not require you to be flexible.
It doesn't require anything at all.
Yoga therapy,
And therapeutic yoga can be done in a chair,
It can be done on a couch,
On a bed.
In a hospital setting,
In a clinical setting.
Any place,
Anytime,
Really.
You can meet for yoga therapy via Zoom in a virtual setting.
Or in person.
In person might be in a yoga studio.
Or in any other type of facility.
That is comfortable and convenient.
So yoga therapy is really very broad.
It requires just an intake form to know what you need,
All parts of you need,
In this moment.
And then from there.

Your skilled and trained yoga therapist.
Will help to create the perfect session for you.
