RECOVERY YOGA
People with limited mobility can use Yoga to take charge of their own health and restore a sense of control over their lives. When appropriately practiced, Recovery Yoga can promote feelings of well-being and to whatever extent is possible, accelerate healing. Under normal circumstances, one doesn't feel their body. It is just there operating in the background providing you with the vehicle that takes you about in your daily business. However when you are chronically ill or injured, your body no longer feels as if it is in the background. It is very present reminding you that your former comfort and freedom of movement is compromised or no longer exists. Recovery Yoga is designed not only to give your body a jump-start toward wellness, but to take your mind off the discomfort of your body...quiet your mind and offer you some relief. You will gain practical tools to use for feeling better about yourself, both physically and emotionally and will have the opportunity to take responsibility for your own health maintenance.
LIFEFORCE YOGAtm for Mood Managment
" LifeForce Yoga is intentionally designed to work with and manage mood...anxiety and depression for example. The practices support students in self-regulation, and many of the yoga techniques can be done in a chair or in bed and do not require a yoga mat. Most practices are evidence based, have been adapted for clinical settings, and are used in health care settings globally. They are rooted in traditional active meditation and self-inquiry teachings that embrace the plarities in our lives."
LifeForce Yogatm utilizes
breathing practices, meditation techniques, vibrational
tones and simple but profound physical postures to
release the places in the mind and body where
tension and anxiety are stored. Each posture is chosen
to cultivate key qualities that can help alleviate anxiety.
Through the peace and the pace of LifeForce Yogatm, we
become that which we seek.
THAI YOGA
Thai Yoga, often referred to as "assisted yoga", is a
therapeutic combination of supported yoga poses and
traditional Thai Yoga Bodywork techniques. Working
