Mind-Body Connection
As you may have read on the NIH National Library of Medicine website, much healing is rooted in the mind-body connection. By combining breathing techniques and mindfulness exercises with physical movements, you can increase your awareness of the mind-body connection and its impact on your nervous system and mental health. You will also learn self soothing techniques, and how to calm and take control of your emotions.
What Is Yoga Therapy?
A yoga therapy session will look different for everyone. Our sessions are currently offered on telemed, so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own home. You should come to the session dressed comfortably. The practice will either be done seated in a chair or on a yoga mat.
You will move through different yoga poses at the instruction of your certified yoga therapist. While engaging in these poses, you may be guided through breathing or meditation exercises. Your therapist will be able to correct your technique to ensure you don’t risk injuring yourself. During the sessions you will notice release of tension and stress, and will learn how to calm and destress your nervous system.
Yoga Therapy vs. Yoga Class
A yoga class typically doesn’t have the same focus on mental health as yoga therapy does, although people can find mental health benefits from it. Many people in yoga classes are there to focus on physical exercise, improving flexibility, strength, and stability. Yoga classes are also held for many people at once where as our yoga therapy classes will be 1 on 1 online.
1 on 1 yoga therapy focuses on your goals, capabilities, and priorities with a strong emphasis on mental health, and self soothing.
