Yoga Therapy
(Cranston Location Only)

Yoga therapy is based on three primary concepts – exercise, breathing, and meditation. Traditional yoga can be traced back thousands of years to ancient India. It is a highly effective stress reducer and improves circulation, increases flexibility, strengthens muscle groups, and helps metabolism.

Our yoga therapy program blends Hatha yoga with current movement science and motor control/learning theories to facilitate optimal health, fitness, and motor performance. Patients discover how easily they can move towards a state of inner peace and well-being by linking body, breath, and mind. This process of self-discovery is guided by self-awareness through breathing exercises, deep relaxation, physical postures, and massage. Yoga focuses on improving inner and outer strength, balance, flexibility, relaxation, motor performance, attention and concentration. These principles enable yoga students to reach their highest potential and to experience enduring health and happiness.

Hatha yoga is the “yoga of postures.” It is the most popular branch in the West. In Hatha yoga, the body is considered to be a vehicle for the soul. Physical poses, breathing techniques, and meditation are all utilized.

Benefits of yoga include increased strength, flexibility, oxygen intake, organ function, and mobility, as well as release of tension, healthy skin, broadened mental faculties, rejuvenated nervous system, and heightened concentration and awareness.
