Yoga Therapy is a holistic mind body practice, based on the Kosha model. of Patanjali. Yoga therapy includes an assessment of a person based on 5 koshas or layers - the physical body, energy body, mental body, wisdom body, and bliss body - and seeks to identify barriers to health as well as areas of imbalance. Therapeutic work then aims to restore balance to each layer through the application of the teaching and practices of yoga. Addressing barriers and restoring balance to the layers can help improve symptoms and lead to greater feelings of well being. Yoga Therapy is based on the ancient wisdom and science of yoga, but is also grounded in modern day physiology and neuroscience. Depending on your belief system and interests, yoga therapy sessions may be science based, yoga philosophy based, or a combination of both. Yoga Therapy is highly specialised for the individual, their history, and their needs. Sessions often include movement, rest, yoga nidra, breathwork, mindfulness/meditation but can also incorporate a wide range of other practices such as gratitude practice, mudra, mantra, journalling, self massage, accupressure. The content of each session will be based on the needs and wishes of the client, and as such will not include practices that feel uncomfortable or awkward to them. Sessions are client led, empathetic, and non judgemental.
