Is Yoga Therapy for me? What does it do and what does it help?

As a long time Yoga Therapist, I find the questions above to be the million dollar questions. I generally group yoga therapy clients into two groups: ailments and personal development. 

You might think to yourself, I have a physical therapist, and a doctor, and a therapist… why do I need a yoga therapist? Yoga therapy is an integrative approach to the human system based on yogic teachings and ayurveda to improve overall health. It has entirely distinct models and approaches on health that draw from eastern studies, medicine and philosophies that supports the system as a whole. If you’ve ever had the privilege to go to an integrative medical center, where all your doctors, therapists and providers talk with one another, you know the value of being seen as a whole. This is what we do in yoga therapy: we do not replace your other providers, we help you bring the system together.
