Yoga therapy is not just about exercise. Yoga Therapy aims to treat the entire individual for the individuals needs. A therapeutic yoga session may or may not include a physical practice. Every session is balanced to what the client needs. Below is a breakdown of the parts of Yoga Therapy.
Yoga Therapy For Tourette Syndrome
Pranayama
When calming breath techniques are employed 3 or more times a week, the severity of tics associated with Tourette’s Syndrome is reduced.
Meditation
Meditation is a proven stress and anxiety reduction tool that can provide relief of TS tics that are brought on or increased by stress.
Nutrition & Ayurveda
Many people afflicted by TS report a worsening of symptoms when particular foods are consumed. By taking a closer look at diet and lifestyle we can determine intolerance's that lead to tics.
Yoga Asana
Having a physical practice 3 or more times a week gives the body a chance to physically release tension by strengthening and lengthening normally unused muscles.
Sessions are offered online through zoom or google meet. If you would like information on in-person or group bookings please contact Jenn through email
