Yoga Therapy – Counseling, Treatment, Individual Practice

Do you suffer from physical pain? Are you under a lot of stress? We at the Yoga Shala invite you to get better now.

Today more than ever, modern medicine and psychology acknowledge the close connection between body and mind. Yoga therapy can alleviate various physiological and psychological symptoms:
• Pain in one or more body parts: lower and upper back, shoulders, shoulder blades, neck, head, knees, wrists, joints
• Digestive disorders
• Chronic headaches
• Movement and postural problems
• Spinal curvature (scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis)
• Sleep disorders
• Stress, anxiety, and fatigue
• Difficulty quitting smoking or maintaining a healthy weight

The discipline of yoga therapy has emerged in recent years and has gained support in research and in practice.
By considering the physical and energetic essence of the patient, yoga therapists can offer personal, customized treatment plans in accordance with various yoga traditions. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology accumulated over the years; the classical conception of yoga; and the spiritual-philosophical interpretation of Patanjali’s yoga darshana are the foundations of yoga therapy. In individual or small-group sessions, yoga therapists tailor physical and breathing exercises to the specific physical and emotional symptoms of the patient, in order to bring physical, emotional, and energetic balance.

In a single counseling session free of charge we can offer a preliminary diagnosis, give an opinion on whether yoga therapy is suitable for you, based on our experience with dozens of yoga students, and then refer you to one-on-one or group sessions.
