What is Private Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy consists of a combination of:
Physical postures: Simple yoga postures that gently stretch and strengthen muscles, improving mobility, flexibility, respiration, circulation, digestion and elimination. These consist of both simple movements and held postures, which promote a general sense of health and well being.
Breathing techniques: Yoga breathing exercises can be practiced anywhere and at any time. Awareness of the breath is central to all forms of yoga and promotes calmness, helping to focus the mind, and relieving stress and mental fatigue.
Relaxation methods: Learning how to relax is a central element of Yoga Therapy. Relaxation is the body’s way of recharging, and helps to ease physical and mental tension. Relaxation techniques encourage us to step back and look objectively at our habitual patterns of behavior, helping us to cope better with situations that put our body and mind under strain.
