“Yoga Therapy aims to empower the person to become more independent and responsible for his own wellbeing by the application of different tools and techniques provided by the therapist. The space created between the care seeker and caregiver aims for the care seeker to learn to listen more to himself.

Yoga therapy involves highly tailored yet simple movements according to the individual needs, offering the opportunity to pacify the triggers that have been creating a constriction or disturbance of the space from inside. So yoga therapy is not only using props, a wall, or ropes, but its goal is to make the individual fully equipped with all the simple movements that will allow him to feel the body in a new way. Here is where the true alignment of the mind and body, facilitated by the breath, will happen.”
