Yoga therapy is the branch of Yoga that adapts traditional postures, breathing techniques and relaxation exercises to the specific needs of the individual. It addresses the client in a comprehensive, holistic way that takes the whole person, as opposed to just his/her symptoms, into consideration. This makes Yoga therapy ideally suited for those with persistent health problems or injuries. While not a replacement for traditional medicine, Yoga therapy can complement and enhance traditional healing techniques, and help create and maintain optimal health. Kate’s approach to Yoga therapy is based on an interdisciplinary model in which both traditional and alternative therapies are integrated. Working with a variety of practitioners (including osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, bodyworkers, M.D.s, and physical therapists), she evaluates and creates a unique yoga practice for every client. The emphasis is on helping clients develop the tools they need to manage stress, relax deeply, and become active participants in their own healing. The first session will entail a thorough assessment with an emphasis on breathing. Subsequent classes will involve more movement, based on your ability, needs and personal goals. All Yoga therapy sessions are recorded and transferred to a CD, so that students can easily reproduce the practice at home.
