In western culture, public
yoga classes are generally viewed as a system of exercise – opportunities to
develop, deepen, or finesse a physical practice with like-minded individuals.
More often than not, the class focus remains primarily on the physical body.
While this approach can in still moments of peace and playful challenge that
may offer a therapeutic effect, it does not always allow for caution or
adaptations or self-advocacy to ensure your injuries or chronic conditions are
taken into account.
Yoga Therapy:
Yoga therapy
in Woodbridge, Virginia is an integrative mind-body therapeutic modality
that adapts the yogic elements of breathing techniques, mindful movement,
guided imagery, and meditation/visualization to address the disconnection and
dis-ease in breath, body, and mind.
For individual work with a
client, a treatment approach begins with an initial consultation to build an
understanding of the client’s situation, environment, history and desired
goals, and to perform musculoskeletal assessments. Additional sessions allow
deeper exploration and continued refinement of how mind, body, and breath
align. A client’s collaborative input is integral to creating a specialized,
realistic, and sustainable plan of care that respects time allowance,
interests, healthy challenge, and which progresses toward identified goals.
Consistency and commitment are key.
Plans of care are developed
from scientific research and evidence-based practices proven to relieve
suffering and/or illness symptoms; improve functioning across physical,
energetic and mental-emotional layers; and, empower individuals
through the process of self-reflection, healing, education, and
personal evolution. Each approach is uniquely adapted to the needs of the
individual client.
One does not need prior
knowledge or experience with yoga to benefit from yoga therapy. Everything will
be customized to meet you exactly as you are.
