Yoga Therapy

Introduction

Yoga is designed to transform, balance, and awaken the person on a physical, mental, and spiritual level. Through various exercises of breath control, meditation, and bodily postures, yoga works on deep layers of the human being, stimulating energy flow to all meridians and organs of the body. While physically detoxifying, it pushes the mind toward self-realization. The practice teaches us to move beyond limitations and toward endless possibilities—from feeling blocked to feeling free.

Therapeutic Yoga is a holistic approach, integrating yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery to improve mental and physical health. It strengthens various body systems, including the heart, lungs, muscles, and nervous system, while also promoting mental well-being and detoxification.
