Yoga therapy is the application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being. Helping individuals facing health challenges at any level manage their condition, reduce symptoms, and restore balance. Yoga Therapy is delivered in a therapeutic relationship that includes personalised assessment, goal setting and lifestyle management. Yoga Therapy is an empowering whole person approach. It is person centred instead of condition centred and is health oriented instead of condition oriented.
Yoga therapy works within the biopsychosocial model of healthcare. This model takes into consideration the whole context of a persons symptoms rather than viewing each system in isolation. How does persons biology, psychology and social context interact to support or hinder an individuals health?
Yoga therapy addresses the fact that many health conditions are caused/exasperated by issues with chronic stress/inflammation and nervous system dysregulation. Targeted yoga practices are proven to help manage these systems, helping individuals recreate internal balance and connect with long-term health and wellbeing strategies. Simple tools help you give your body the reset it needs to promote homeostasis. Yoga therapy can work alongside other physiological and psychological treatments, please get in touch if you have any questions about suitability.
