Yoga

Is the union, harmony or integration of mind, body and breath (life force or spirit). Energy (as felt through the breath) needs to flow freely around the body for this to happen. Tension, toxins and stress in the body can prevent the free flow of energy.

Yoga postures and sequences, done with awareness and deep, mindful breathing open and expand your body and create space for tension to be released, toxins to be expelled and energy to flow. Along with relaxation, meditation and holistic living they provide an opportunity for your being to move towards harmony.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy in its present form is a new discipline, created by the marriage of traditional yoga with modern medicine. By tailoring yoga practices to individual needs, whilst taking medical considerations into account, yoga therapy is more effective than general yoga practice as a safe means of treating medical conditions.

Yoga therapy is applicable to a great variety of conditions, including anxiety, low back pain, arthritis, hypertension, heart conditions, hyperventilation, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, multiple scelorosis, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

It can also promote positive health for pregnancy and childbirth, mothers and babies, children, reproductive health in women and men, and the elderly.

Yoga Therapy cultivates body/mind integration and a sense of harmony with life. It promotes the innate healing resources of the body, helping restore the proper functioning of the various bodily systems.

Medical research provides increasing evidence that yoga therapy is effective.

Yoga Therapy can be practised in conjunction with any medical treatments you are already receiving, and also in tandem with other complementary therapies. No prior experience of yoga is necessary before starting.
