Private Yoga Therapy in downtown MIlwaukee

What is yoga therapy?

Yoga therapy is the skilled application of yoga asanas or postures by an experienced teacher to alleviate stress, pain, dysfunction, or disease in the body, often incorporating the use of various props to modify and customize the pose to the unique needs and body of each student.

The magic of Props

The ancient yogis used logs of wood, stones, and ropes to help them practice effectively. BKS iyengar developed an ingenious method of using props to allow students to hold the poses easily for longer duration, without strain. Longer holds yield greater physiological benefit. Asana with props can awaken the muscles, tone the organs, and relieve mental and physical stress, strain or fatigue.
