Yoga Therapy Consultation

Service Description

In Yoga Therapy for mental health, we work with the philosophies, principles and practices of Yoga, to foster mental health and overall well being. We work with the eight limbs of Yoga: - Yama (values) - Niyama (Personal practices, values in action) - Asana (Postures and mudras) - Pranayama (Mindful breathing practices) - Pratyahara (Going inward) - Dharana (Developing concentration, focus and attention) - Dhyana (Dropping effort, letting go, surrendering into the meditative state), - Samadhi (Harmonious union with Self and universe) Yoga therapy leads you to your own inner wisdom, taking you on a completely unique and natural path to healing, by implementing principles and practices that foster greater connection to Self. We will take stock of your value system and apply the Yamas or values of Yoga where it is beneficial to your well being. We put these values into action with the Niyamas or personal practices. We'll work with asana or posture to foster the implementation of your highest values, as well as to facilitate inner stillness and the meditative state. And we'll apply breathing and meditation practices, in accordance with your current state of mind, to foster mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I will use the practices and principles of Yoga to meet you exactly where you are and work with your unique set of challenges. It is not a rigid process but somewhat fluid depending on your current needs. However, there is a bit of a step by step structure to it. We need time and space to allow the process to unfold and therefore the Yoga teachings are spread out into 5 sessions over 12 weeks. We work with the principles and practices as building blocks - Each session will build on what we covered in the last - How it progresses will be somewhat dependent on how you how you are moving through it.
