Yoga Therapy.

Yoga Therapy has been used in India for thousands of years to help heal many illnesses and physical injuries. It uses a combination of yoga practises to help to restore the body and emotions to full health when illness is present. It is much more specialist then general yoga with all sessions been tailored to a specific ailment or injury. Yoga Therapy helps the systems of the body to function as efficiently, effectively and naturally as possible. The aim is not simply to help heal the specific symptoms but to target the cause and therefore to prevent the ailment or the injury re-occurring.

There is much medical research now available which shows Yoga Therapy is very effective treating many conditions.

What Practices Does Yoga Therapy Use?

Depending on the client’s condition a combination of the following treatments and techniques will be recommended

Yoga Postures
Yoga postures not only work the physical structure of the body, increasing strength, flexibility and mobility; they rejuvenate and rebalance the internal systems of the body helping return them to full health.

Breathing Techniques
Yogic breathing techniques have many therapeutic benefits. The exercises will improve overall health, strengthen the respiratory and digestive systems, calm the nervous system, relieve stress and reduce cravings.
The techniques increase the intake of oxygen into the body. The increased oxygen flow permeates deep into every cell of the body, regenerating the cells, enhancing well being and aiding healing.

Relaxation and Meditation
When our bodies relax they recharge on a mental and physical level. Relaxation creates a feeling of well being and helps us cope better with situations that put our body and mind under strain. Meditation techniques turn our focus inwards to a quiet space of stillness, helping one cultivate an inner happiness and calm in everyday life.
