As a Yoga Therapist and Yoga Teacher, I offer real people, with real bodies, real yoga. I offer both private Yoga Therapy, as well as popular group yoga and therapeutic classes.
Yoga has helped me heal back issues, gain strength, flexibility and I am most grateful for the peace that I have been able to find in the practice of yoga and meditation. I am constantly amazed at how practical and applicable this 5000 year old practice is to our present daily lives.
For centuries, the science of Yoga has been used to enhance physical and emotional well being. Now, the therapeutic potential of yoga is being rediscovered in the modern world. When yoga is practiced with therapeutic intention -- Yoga Therapy -- it can prevent, or aid recovery from, physical, emotional and mental ailments.
In my classes, I offer tools and guidance to help students gain focus, strength, and adaptability as they move through their daily lives.
The real benefit (effectiveness) of a yoga practice, is to able to apply lessons of compassion, patience, endurance and adaptability learned on your yoga mat to daily life.
Yoga is beneficial for the health in ways that modern science is only now beginning to understand. Even though it has been applied with therapeutic intention for thousand of years, Yoga Therapy is only just now emerging as a discipline in itself. More health care practitioners are starting to include yogic techniques in their approach to healing -- and more yoga teachers give a therapeutic intention to their teaching. People who have never tried yoga before are starting to consider including Yoga in their treatment plan. As science begins to document the importance of understanding the interrelation of all existing things, it looks to Yoga with an intrigued eye, for Yoga speaks Unity in every word. As yoga techniques are researched and new data is gathered, it becomes easier for science and the medical establishment to understand and accept the benefits of Yoga Therapy.
