Yoga Therapy
What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy is a specialized, individualized, and holistic form of alternative medicine that applies the entire science of yoga to effect health and healing on an individual basis. It addresses issues that confront people mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as physically, through a personalized engagement with the vast ancient system of well-being that is yoga.
While standard yoga classes provide a more generalized approach to movement, and sometimes to meditation, yoga therapy adapts the practice of yoga to the needs of people with specific or persistent health problems that cannot be addressed in a general yoga class.
“Energy held in immobility can be transformed…contrary to popular belief, trauma can be healed. Not only can it be healed, but in many cases it can be healed without long hours of therapy; without the painful reliving of memories, and without a continuing reliance on medication.”

How does yoga heal?
My therapeutic journey has taken me beyond study of the healing power of yoga, to studying metaphysics and energetics and particularly, the mechanics of personality and subtle energy and their connection to physical, mental and emotional disorders. These two parts of our human experience create the undercurrent that guides and informs every aspect of our lives.
Combining functional and therapeutic movement with healing energetics specific to you and your system and Neural Network Therapy® is the power in my work. This is where healing shows up. This is what gets clients out of pain and into a state of resilience.

Regardless of the nature of the trauma, this course is an excellent tool for those looking to establish connection in their lives and learn how to rebuild trust within themselves and others. Survivors of trauma often experience physical pain and emotional unrest whether or not trauma is recent or re-experienced. This affects brain function sending the amygdala into flight or flight mode - a mode in which many cannot escape and this the nervous system is constantly overstressed. This course will help survivors to establish safety and connection to their body in a way that feels safe and manageable - unique to their needs and personality.
