“I AM” Yoga Therapy
“I AM” Yoga Therapy, the Integrative Amrit Method of Body Psychology
What Yoga Therapy is
Working at a psychosomatic level, Yoga Body Psychology releases excess physical, mental, and emotional tensions, creating an optimal environment for the body to tap into its natural ability to heal. It is the integrative healing application of the principles and practices of Yoga, including Yoga postures, Yogic breathing, guided meditation, and chakra balancing. Yoga Therapy works with the psychology of the body to identify and release stuck energy and trapped emotions. It works by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to induce a sense of peace and calm. From this relaxed place, the body is better able to tap into its natural healing resources. It has been practiced in India for thousands of years and is becoming more known in other parts of the world for its effectiveness on overall health and well-being. A variety of conditions are being addressed with therapeutic Yoga such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, stress related illnesses, and more. It can also be used to improve strength, balance and flexibility of the physical body as well as the mind. Yoga Therapy is also an incredible way to receive emotional support during times of difficulty.
What to Expect in Your Yoga Therapy Sessions
Therapeutic Yoga sessions are usually done on a Yoga mat or a traditional Thai Yoga Massage mat on the floor. I encourage the use of props, such as bolsters, pillows, blankets, and whatever else you have on hand to ensure your comfort. Your session is customized and can vary depending on ability and individual needs. It is completely touchless, making it a great option for virtual sessions. You do not need to have any previous Yoga experience and you do not have to be strong or flexible. You will enjoy a full body stretch with the assistance of props and/or a wall and be guided to move in a slow, supportive way into areas that are normally tight and stiff. By holding the body in these positions for longer periods of time, combined with breathwork and meditative dialogue, tensions are released from the body and the mind. Yoga Therapy offers you similar benefits as a Yoga class, yet done in a more personal method so you can receive benefits more quickly in a way that is just right for you. If movement is difficult, there are options that don’t require stretching. You can remain in a comfortable, supportive position on your back, or whatever position is most comfortable for your body, making it accessible to everybody.
