Yoga benefits the physical body by improving flexibility, strength, circulation and digestion. It benefits the mind by improving focus and the ability to remain centered through all of life’s ups and downs. Yoga benefits the spirit by giving you tools to directly manage stress, which improves the flow of prana. In Eastern philosophy they say blood follows prana and prana follows spirit. I would add that spirit follows nature. A healthy life is a balanced life, and integrating yoga into your wellness practice can make such a difference in your physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

I often incorporate therapeutic yoga practices into clients’ plans of care to support healing. Private therapeutic yoga sessions are a great way to learn which practices will most support your constitution seasonally. Working together 1:1 is also provides an opportunity to learn how use yoga to help you heal and/or to learn how to adapt your practice after illness, surgery, pain, or injury.
