Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy uses Transformation Hatha Yoga in a therapeutic way to address specific needs. It is particularly beneficial for those who are recovering from surgery or an injury, to assist recovery. Unlike physiotherapy which usually focuses on the problem joint or area, Yoga Therapy takes a whole person approach. An injured knee for example, may lead to poor alignment and other problems elsewhere in the body, and anyone who has had surgery or an injury to one area may have reduced the movement or use of the rest of their body.
You might also benefit from one-to-one yoga if you are undergoing treatment for cancer, when your energy levels and wellness may fluctuate and not allow you to attend a regular class. This may also apply if you have chronic fatigue syndrome or a range of other health problems. Some of our clients have some individual sessions before joining one of our classes.
Individual yoga therapy sessions are available for children, and this may be particularly beneficial for children who have difficulties with their co-ordination, balance, motor skills or concentration. We also offer Antenatal and Postnatal Yoga Therapy.
Our clients are given the skills and tools they need to be able to practice their specific yoga programme at home. Individual yoga sessions are held at our Chudleigh Centre.
