How Yoga Therapy Can Help You

Yoga therapy is for those seeking to establish and fortify a loving relationship between the body, mind, and spirit. Old wounds and past traumas often create disconnection because the body no longer feels safe or secure and the mind is lost in a maze of distorted thoughts and beliefs. This disconnection can lead to eating disorders, addictions, anxiety and depression, physical ailments, and more. Yoga therapy focuses on using loving-kindness and compassion to release trauma and negative energy and create wholeness. Yoga therapy can serve as the foundation of making a body feel like home again for the mind and the spirit.

Different Methods for Different People

ASANA: The physical practice of yoga. A restorative approach is primarily utilized in yoga therapy sessions. No experience is necessary and all body shapes, sizes, and capabilities are welcome and can benefit from this practice. The purpose of using asanas in session is to deepen the awareness and understanding of our bodies while allowing space to release old trauma and balance energy.

PRANAYAMA & MEDITATION: Pranayama is use of the breath to settle the nervous system and energy within the body while meditation calms the mind and creates a sacred stillness. Through the practice of pranayama and meditation, we are able to explore our core authentic selves while opening the path to spirituality and connection to a higher purpose.

AYURVEDA: Ayurveda is a sister science of yoga meaning the “knowledge of life.” It promotes holistic healing by focusing on body-mind alignment and teaching us how to live in a balanced, natural, and harmonious state. Ayurveda can complement yoga therapy in assessing energetic, physical, and spiritual imbalances and providing guidance on achieving equilibrium.

Full Day Trauma Workshop: Healing Core Wounds Through Connection

“Trauma therapy is a MUST! I was so used to talking about all of my ‘stuff,’ that I was never able to work through the trauma. I learned that while I was talking, I wasn’t feeling. I had such a powerful experience with my psychodrama, and truly believe that if I had not worked on my trauma, I wouldn’t have been able to work through the negative things I was doing to cope.” –LM (Trauma Client)
