Yoga therapy has been used in India as a sister science to the Ayravedic medical and healing system for 1000’s of years.
This is a preventative as well as a curative approach to wellness and looks at treatment for all conditions on a holistic basis, taking into account the different body types or doshas and the lifestyle of each person, individually.
Once a doctor has been consulted the patient is then referred to a Yoga Therapist who will initiate a specifically designed program.
There is no disease or problem that Yoga Therapy can’t be of direct or indirect help. Back pain, injury and surgery recovery, post natal restoration, asthma, depression, insomnia, detox, addiction, high blood pressure, arthritis, overuse injury, chronic stiffness, fatigue, weight loss, joint pain or just out of condition, to name a few.
Specific ongoing programs are put in place and are continually monitored by the Yoga Therapist.
The doctor or health practitioner and the Yoga Therapist continue to work in conjunction.
Western medicine is so concerned with prescribing drugs and surgery that the real cause of the problem is overlooked and never addressed. The body’s immune system must be strengthened, and natural healing power given a chance, in order for the recurrence and severity to be reduced naturally and holistically.
Once a proper exercise program is in place, diet and lifestyle taken into account, the patient then has the control of his/her own healing, rehabilitation and rejuvenation.
Even people with no existing medical problems can benefit from a yoga therapy program. This enables for a much healthier and more complete life with less likelihood and frequency of sickness, pain and disease.
Yoga Therapy is a very powerful life tool that can greatly reduce the effects of aging and help so much to enhance our life.
The body is designed to heal itself; we only need to give it the chance.
Yoga Therapy puts our destiny and quality of life back into our own hands, relying on others is not the real way to a happy healthy life.
Once we learn how to use these tools we can then apply them. Regularity is the key to maintaining continual health. Yoga enables us to establish an ongoing, systematic approach that can continue throughout the rest of our life.
This is the real health insurance.
The first session is an evaluation, overview and familiarization. The Yoga Therapist will design a basic program that can be easily learnt to enable the client to begin to apply it at home. Reference is made to any programs that have been given by other therapists and health practitioners and incorporated into the program.
The next session will ensure the program is working and no adverse affects are occurring. Any adjustments are made and the regularity is then advised.
The program is monitored on an ongoing basis with fewer and shorter sessions needed as the client adapts to the program.

It still remains a mystery to me why the western world is taking so long to wake up to this well proven method of holistic wellness that has stood the test of time for so long in the east.
