Yogatherapy is a complimentary therapy that focuses on the sentimental and emotional zone. 

 

There are three main kinds of Yogatherapy

 

- Gentle and restorative private yogatherapy classes that mobilize the spine and joints, stretch and relax muscular tensions that cause discomfort.  Here there are specialized exercises to reduce individual scoliosis and lordosis of the spine.

 

- Assisted Stretching where the subject relaxes completely on the yoga mat, and the Yogatherapist assists his or her limbs into partial yoga postures for the limbering of muscular tensions, bringing circulation to joints, increasing flexibility, producing a feeling of relief, satisfaction, and pleasure to the spine and muscles.

 

- Ayurvedic Massage.  Ayurveda is an ancient Indian science of health that works side by side with therapeutic yoga.  The Ayurvedic Massage is called Abhyanga.  It is a massage with oils and a series of specific strokes the back, belly, arms, legs, hands, feet, neck, and head that have been passed down through a yoga lineage (an uninterrupted line of masters).

 

 

 There is also Ratnachikitsa or Gem stone therapy for harmonizing of subtle body.  Upon request this can be added to any of the above three forms of individual Yogatherapy.

 

 

 

 

 

There are Therapeutic Yoga Trainings for individuals interested in learning these three kinds of Yogatherapy and an introduction to Ayurveda.  You are required to attend all the regular yoga therapy training hours, plus a minimum of one additional yoga class per week.
