Yoga and yoga therapy
Yoga Teacher Training (YTT)
Yoga is an ancient practice of adaptation to change. Through movement, breathing and meditation a person can learn to find balance in their body, mind, and spirit in a variety of situations. Gentle to advanced poses are incorporated. Yoga is an effective stress-management practice that promotes harmony, well-being, and a healthy lifestyle. Yoga is often taught in a class setting by an instructor who has completed a minimum 200-hour of teacher training.
Yoga Therapy Training (YT)
Yoga therapy is the individual applications of yoga tools and techniques to achieve health-related goals. Research suggests that yoga therapy may help relieve symptoms of pain, fatigue, depression, and anxiety.
