This course takes you through not only the physical improvements that can be made by a tailored yoga practice but also the mental and emotional improvements that can be seen when working one-on-one with a student.
As teachers and yoga practitioners we are well aware of the benefits of yoga to any person whether in a class setting on in personal practice, but Yoga Therapy takes this practice to the next level and teaches us to apply yoga poses, breathing techniques and mediation practices to the individual in order to treat the nuances of that person’s needs.
While yoga practice aims to cultivate the mind, body, and soul of an individual, Yoga Therapeutics, on the other hand, uses particular yoga practices and their known benefits to help improve mental and physical ailments and conditions, directly targeting concerns raised by the individual.
