Discover your body’s language

Yoga Therapy from a Physical Therapist – the best of both worlds!  Together, Yoga therapist and client evaluate body awareness, alignment, balance, motion, strength, body type, breath, vital energies of respiration, circulation and digestion, emotions, habits of thought, and connection to Self.  Appropriate self care practices are selected from the vast life science of yoga to:

  • Cultivate body awareness
  • Invigorate the body using asana/postures that best address needs, match client capability and are appropriate for health status
  • Enhance the breath as a vehicle for flow of the vital energies
  • Listen to the influence of inner dialogue on the state of mind
  • Discover the connection between emotions and physical tension patterns
  • Recognize beliefs and thought patterns that are obstacles
  • Understand your body type as a reflection of the elements of nature and find harmony
  • Remember the essential nature of your spirit

OUR NATURAL BODY LANGUAGE

VITALITY … The power to love and grow; the capacity for a meaningful and purposeful existence
WELL-BEING … Health, happiness and prosperity
WHOLENESS … Complete in one’s self; integrated in body, mind and spirit
