Thera-Yoga

Life’sWork Thera-Yoga is the integration of classic Yoga with modern modalities of Somatics, Thai Yoga, Positional Therapy, and neuro-muscular science. Thera-Yoga’s intention is to enhance participation of yoga with those often left-out of contemporary practices and communities (i.e. injuries, chronic disease or dis-ease, pain, divergent-abilities, size, gender, etc). Thera-Yoga teaches adaptable principles for wise, personalized adaptation and krama-progressive sequencing to cultivate accessibility in a diverse community.

This training offers a deep dive into anatomy, alignment, hands on assists and safe touch, therapeutic adaptations for classic postures and practices, as well as a broad exploration of philosophies, theories, from yoga and the movement disciplines.
