Yoga integrates mind, body, and spirit through physical postures, breathing, and meditation. Yoga therapy uses yoga techniques to manage specific health challenges, as assessed through physical, mental, and emotional health. It is often used to complement traditional medical treatments, improving quality of life and overall well-being.

No, yoga therapy is not just physical therapy. While both may involve similar physical movements, yoga therapy takes a holistic approach to healing, combining physical, mental, and emotional well-being practices. Additionally, yoga therapy is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments, while PT is typically used as a primary treatment method for physical injuries or disabilities.

1. Talk to your healthcare provider: It is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise program, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
2. Choose a yoga therapist: Our qualified yoga therapist have specialties and experience working with seniors and can develop a personalized practice plan based on your individual needs and goals.
3.  Start with a gentle practice: Many seniors benefit from gentle yoga practices, such as chair yoga or restorative yoga, which can be modified to accommodate different levels of mobility.
4. Practice regularly: Consistency is key when it comes to yoga therapy. Aim to practice regularly, even if it is just a few minutes a day.

 Remember, yoga therapy is an individualized practice, so what works for one person may not work for another. Be patient with yourself and give yourself time to develop a practice that works for you.
