During your intake session:
Yoga Therapy (or therapeutic Yoga) is a process dedicated to the recovery and growth of your whole being. As a form of somatic therapy, it is highly complementary to any Western medical care you may receive. Through the lens of how Yoga views and interacts with the human system, you will become more skilled in recovering and maintaining health of mind, heart, and body.
A personalized Yoga Therapy program is developed collaboratively between you and your Yoga Therapist. Your personal practice is drawn from the 8 limbs of Yoga and may include postures, breathing techniques, healing meditation, imagery, chanting, personal study, or lifestyle recommendations. As Yoga is interested in your holistic wellbeing, your therapeutic practice can support your somatic, physiological, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.
A C-IAYT (Certified-International Association of Yoga Therapist) has a minimum of 1000 hours of training in the field of Yoga Therapy. This includes the minimum 200 hours of training required to be a yoga teacher plus an additional 800 hours of training that may include: therapeutically oriented philosophy, kinesiology, psychology, biomedicine, anatomy, pathophysiology, the adaptation of Yoga tools, and a clinical practicum.
