What Is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is a specialized form of therapy that integrates yoga principles and practices with mental health care. It brings together different techniques, like physical postures, breathwork, meditation, and lifestyle management, to promote emotional balance, physical well-being, and mental clarity through:
- Gentle movements and postures tailored to your needs
- Breathwork exercises to calm the mind and reduce anxiety
- Mindfulness practices to cultivate presence and awareness
Yoga therapy is adaptable to all skill levels, ensuring that everyone, regardless of experience, can benefit from its restorative and healing effects.
