Yoga has been practised therapeutically for thousands of years. More recently, yoga theraphy has emerged as a field of its own, accessible to everyone as it is tailored to individual needs. Unlike a yoga PT session, where the focus often is on improving an asana practice, yoga therapy looks at the individual as a whole, including lifestyle, stress management and adapting the practice to suit the practioner.
Under the umbrella of yoga therapy, you find ayurveda (holistic perspective), pranayama (breathwork), tools and techniques for better sleep, pain management, injury recovery and methods for other health conditions.
Vrksasana (Tree pose) is a balancing challenge.
Balance is about concentration and we need to train our balance throughout our lives.
Start with the classic variation of Vrksasana, check the foundation and work your way up. Does your foot have good contact with the floor? Are the hips level?
The raised foot can be resting over the ankle, below or above the knee. Are the hips still level?
Hands together in prayer position in front of the chest help to find the middle line. Press hands together, glide the hands up and over the head, take some space between the hand and notice what difference that makes.
Now play with variations:
Change your foundation - stand on a cushion, or even a bolster, to strengthen ankles and knees. Notice how hard the supporting leg is working, great for the gluteus medius. Try closing one eye, open, breathe, then close the other, open, breathe, try closing both eyes.
Return to Tadasana (Mountain pose) with grace and control.
In these classes, we aim for deeper relaxation to rebuild body and mind. We use bolsters and blankets to hold positions 3-10 minutes, giving the nervous system time to relax. Might at first be challenging, especially in times where intense work life is glorified, but in time you will reap the benefits.

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation for deep relaxation. A yogic sleep where the body is asleep and the mind awake.
Intended for both body and mind, this experince will relax both your physical and mental tensions.
Lay down comfortably and just listen to my voice.
Sometimes a group class is the best choice - the atmosphere of the yoga studio and the dynamic of the group give you the reasons to actually get away and do yoga. But at other times you might feel that it would be valuable to get more personal instructions and tips in order to develop and deepen your yoga practice. Then a private session, with just you and the teacher, is the best choice. You can do it on one specific occasion or on a more regular basis for a period of time. You're welcome to contact me and we'll figure out what suits you best.
Props are tools like blocks, bolsters, blankets, belts, balls and eye pillows. And mats of course, the most common of all props. So common you don't even think about it as a prop. But the mat provides extra cushioning and prevents you from slipping on the floor.
Props are not just for beginners but for all, regardless of age, condition and experience. Simply your best friends during yoga.
You can buy props from me. I have selected props that work and on top of it are beautiful.
Yoga therapy balls,for instance, they can do wonders for muscle knots and tensions. They are 6,3 cm, manufactured in a special rubber that clings to your skin and impacts several layers of muscles for a deep tissue massage. Colour: purple. Comes in two in a practical mesh bag.
The yoga mat bags are made from 100% cotton and are available in many colours.
The eye pillows are with or without lavender scent.
