​Yoga therapy is a holistic approach which focuses on your physical, emotional and mental health. This integral approach consists of body scans, affirmations, Mudras or hand gestures, breathing techniques, yoga poses, meditation and deep relaxation. The aim is to relieve stress and manage underlying conditions. This deep yoga therapeutic session paves the way for better understanding and a deep sense of harmony, fulfillment and joy. Often the yoga therapist may work in collaboraton with a healthcare professional(s).

Adaptive Yoga Therapist

Dhyana is certified in Adaptive Yoga with a focus on osteoporosis. Adaptive yoga offers multiple variations thus allowing the yoga poses to be adapted to specific conditions and abilities. Osteoporosis can be treated through regular weight bearing exercise such as Yoga.

Dhyana pays specail attention to the spine in such poses as twists and forward bends for students suffering from low back pain, scoliosis and osteoporosis.
