What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga Therapy focuses on enhancing the quality of life in individuals, or in groups of people with related symptoms or conditions.

A session might involve the application of still or moving postures, supported postures, breath work, relaxation, meditation and mindfulness practices.

Differs from yoga classes as it is structured towards the holistic needs of the individual, or small groups of individuals with similar needs.

Benefits mental health by helping people manage such things as stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, insomnia, and sobriety maintenance.

Promotes Wellness by meeting people where they are in their health journey, including improving quality of life for people with diagnosed physical health conditions.

Want to escape the gym mentality? Donna Wallace has been teaching yoga for 16 years, having trained with IYT as an Integrative Yoga Therapist, gleaned restorative yoga from Judith Hansen Lasater’s Relax and Renew program, among others. Her additional experience as a psychotherapist and addiction counselor makes her particularly sensitive to the mental and emotional health needs of trauma patients, recovering clients, chronically ill clients, and more.

Consult a seasoned teacher who can:

• personalize your session with adaptations and modifications
• teach stress reduction skills
• help you befriend your body and learn to live more holistically
• learn beginner basics privately, away from mirrors and competitive eyes
• explore meditation or other mindfulness practices
• gather your friends and neighbors for scheduled small group sessions

Cancer affects the whole body, mind and spirit. Besides the physical stresses of the disease, cancer patients and survivors can struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss.

Luckily Restorative Yoga is not your typical gym membership Yoga. In this compassionate therapeutic practice, you can have a calm and stress reducing experience. That is why we have incorporated a 60-minute Group Restorative Yoga class into our weekly program.
