Yoga Therapy Sessions

What should you expect from a Yoga Therapy Session?

Interview and Assessment
   A in depth evaluation and assessment is the first step to your yoga therapy sessions. Collecting information from medical history, current health concerns and diet are critical in creating a plan for you. The first sessions are typically longer and run from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Each client has different needs and symptoms and yoga therapy tailors to the individual. Wether your primary health concern is anxiety, depression, weight loss or improving from an injury each session is designed for your goals. What do you want out of your yoga therapy sessions?

Formulating A Plan - Setting Up Your Practice
   Through further assessment and interview process we formulate a plan. A plan to create a daily practice or routine is then recommended. A plan or routine can consist of asanas or postures, breath work, diet and nutrition, mantra, meditation and relaxation practices. Setting up a plan or routine that fits your schedule and needs is key to your success.

Follow Up
   It is important to keep a consistent practice or routine and follow up on progress. It is advised to meet once a week or every other week for an hour to further assist and address any questions or concerns you may have. A typical Yoga Therapy Session the client is gently guided through breath work, his/her postures and meditation.
