What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy, is the art of reclaiming the power of our breath – the essence of life. Specializing in crafting individualized practices, I work with any condition or limitation. Through specific poses, breathwork and meditation, we can create a space in the body for profound healing.

Yoga Therapy is a specialized approach to holistic wellness that use the science and philosophies of yoga, including movement, breathwork, and meditation, to address individual needs on emotional, physical, and mental levels. Unlike general yoga classes, Yoga Therapy is tailored to the unique constitution of each person, considering their overall health and specific concerns.

With the help of a Yoga Therapist, individuals work to alleviate symptoms causing distress and move toward improved health and well-being. Drawing from Ayurveda, an ancient Indian healing system, Yoga Therapy may also incorporate diet and lifestyle adjustments to support the individual's needs.

Based in southern Manitoba, I offer Yoga Therapy sessions both in-person and online, focusing on areas such as women's hormonal health, stress releated conditions, mental health, weight management and sleep conditions..

Yoga Therapy offers personalized practices that can benefit anyone, whether they're seeking relief from stress, recovering from physical injury, managing chronic pain, navigating illness, or facing life transitions.

Sessions with a Yoga Therapist are one-on-one, allowing for a deep understanding of the individual's needs. Tools utilized in these sessions may include mindful breathing, tailored physical movements, meditation, visualization, sound, mantra, relaxation techniques, and yoga nidra. Additionally, diet and lifestyle recommendations are provided as desired.

As stated by Sri Krishnamacharya, the founder of the therapeutic yoga lineage I follow, "If you can breathe, you can do yoga." This underscores the inclusive nature of Yoga Therapy, which aims to support individuals regardless of their current physical condition.
