Health Crises

It is in the hardest times of our lives that it’s most important to manage stress and anxiety. Therapeutic yoga can help you navigate those crises by using stress- and anxiety-reduction techniques to boost the immune system and produce a much-needed feeling  of wellbeing. It can also clear out toxins from cancer treatments, during and after treatment.

Balance Hormonal Health Before, During and After Menopause

During menopause, therapeutic yoga helps you manage hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression and mood swings. 

Therapeutic yoga can help you navigate the most unpleasant feelings of your cycle and ease contractions that cause cramps. It helps with mental focus, so you’re calmer and less forgetful.

Fertility

Therapeutic yoga can relieve the stress that comes with trying to get pregnant. Decreasing stress can lead to increased fertility and a more positive mindset. Therapeutic yoga strengthens your endocrine system to bring balance to hormones. It’s also effective in increasing blood flow to reproductive organs, which enhances libido.

Prenatal Therapeutic Yoga

During pregnancy, therapeutic yoga builds a connection between your mind-body awareness, your breath and your baby. It focuses on stretching, lengthening and strengthening. Stretching relaxes and releases tension and balances hormones. Lengthening makes room for the baby and increases digestive and respiratory organ function. Strengthening enables your body to support the weight of a growing baby; it decreases backache and aids in labor.

Postnatal Therapeutic Yoga 

After pregnancy, therapeutic yoga helps you recover your body. It alleviates the back and shoulder pain common to new moms and strengthens the muscles you use to carry the baby. Therapeutic yoga also helps you safely regain muscle in your mid-section and lower back.
