Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy is a unique health field that uses evidence-based instruments of yoga in the treatment of specific health conditions. These wide range of effective tools and practices, now being recognized by science and western medicine, aim to address the root cause of dis-ease in a multi-dimensional manner. With the professional application of these practices, Yoga Therapy offers greater well-being and alignment on all levels of the care-receiver, empowers them to take on a more active role in their own healing journey through receiving education and tools to improve one's quality of life.
Working with a Yoga Therapist can support nervous system regulation, chronic pain management, anxiety and depression, ADHD, burnout recovery, neurological disorders such as concussions/TBI's or Parkinson's Disease, trauma, PTSD, life transitions of grief/loss, substance use disorder, stress reduction & more.
No prior yoga experience is needed. Yoga Therapy is trauma informed, accessible and is adapted to the individual and their goals. These 1:1 sessions are held in a private and comfortable setting at Attune Wellness Center, via Tele-health/zoom, or for small groups at a local institution with prior arrangement.
What is the difference between a Yoga Therapist and a Yoga Teacher?
​
A yoga teacher is often trained 200 hours in which to lead a group class that benefits the practitioners in a general form. A Yoga Therapist is further trained over 3-4 years, completing 800 hours of education including over 250 practicum hours under the guidance of C-IAYT (Certified International Association of Yoga Therapy) mentors.
Beyond the studies of yoga, a Yoga Therapist has also been certified or educated in additional studies such as Neuroscience, Nervous System Regulation, Somatic technique's, Chronic Pain Management, Anxiety and Depression, Trauma, Neurological Disorders, Functional Movement, Anatomy & Physiology, Yoga philosophy & ethics, MBSR or Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Ayurveda (the science of life) - all of which are utilized in the client's journey with a Yoga Therapist.
​
A yoga therapist works 1:1 offering a personalized approach in a comfortable private clinical setting, using the many evidence-based scientific tools of yoga to restore an individual's homeostasis. By working over an extended period of time and focusing on their individual needs and goals, a Yoga Therapist can assist in deep healing on more levels of the care-receiver.
