"Yoga therapy offers many tools for people who don’t have a particular health problem. In fact, yoga practices were originally developed not to cure disease, but to help people reach their highest human potential." yogatherapy.health.com

Integrative Approach

Upon your request, Cher will work with your current doctors and/or therapists to move along your progress.

Yoga therapy is a wonderful compliment to talk therapy because as you unpack your thoughts, your body often needs to do some unpacking as well. Cher works with you to understand your habitual patterns, and potentially release the patterns that no longer contribute to the life you want to live.

Yoga therapy also can enrich your physical therapy sessions in that it focuses on your energy flow and resolves underlying issues that may contribute to your progress.

Throughout the course of your therapeutic relationship, your private sessions include goal setting, designing and offering instruction in personalized yoga practices, and guidance that supports your individual goals.

Chronic Pain

Many types of pain respond well to gentle movement, which can include yoga poses (asana). Research shows that fibromyalgia and arthritis are among the painful and potentially debilitating conditions that can be helped by moderate physical exercise. Yogic breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, and other tools can also change people’s relationship with pain and the way they experience it.

Neurological Issues

We now know that the brain can—and does—change throughout our lives. Thanks to neuroplasticity, the symptoms caused by stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other neurological conditions can be affected by yoga therapy techniques. Sometimes the symptoms themselves change, even for those with serious conditions. Even when that doesn’t happen, yoga practice helps individuals change their relationship to themselves and the conditions with which they live.

Mental Health

Yoga therapy can promote general emotional balance and assist with mood regulation. Research into effects on specific concerns is promising, and yoga has been used as an adjunctive therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, insomnia, and other conditions.
