YOGA Therapeutics at Generations Yoga


Generations Yoga is excited to initiate a comprehensive yoga therapy program to serve the needs of the community.  Both group classes and individual sessions are available lead by certified professional yoga therapists.

What is Yoga Therapy?

The ancient tradition of yoga comprises a wide range of mind/body practices, from postural and breathing exercises to deep relaxation and meditation. Yoga therapy  tailors these to the health needs of the individual. It helps to promote all-round positive health, as well as assisting particular medical conditions. Yoga therapy can be used as a complement to medical treatment of chronic and acute physical and/or mental conditions.

Who is a Yoga Therapist?

Yoga Therapists are yoga teachers who have additional training in therapeutic applications of yoga. They may specialize in teaching specific groups like seniors, pregnant women or people with cancer. They may work one on one with private clients and have other areas of training and expertise which they integrate into their practice such as health care, massage therapy, energy healing, counseling, or ayurveda.
