at the Center for Yoga
Therapeutic Yoga with Kathy Ornish, CYT
Are you interested in using the tools of yoga to address such issues as
structural pain, problems from chronic illness and/or emotional
disturbances? Private instruction is a wonderful way to bring yoga into
your life through one-on-one instruction. Therapeutic Yoga assumes that
each person is unique and that we need to understand the individual’s
current condition, needs, and personal potential, and then appropriately
apply the yoga techniques to aid them. Some issues for which Yoga
therapy can be helpful: low back, shoulder, or hip pain, sciatica, high
blood pressure, constipation, IBS, asthma, arthritis, anxiety, and
depression, just to name a few.
Using one or all of the tools of yoga (such as physical postures, breath
awareness exercises, relaxation, meditation, chanting, self-study) and
lifestyle (such as diet, exercise, sleep or stress management) my goal
is to enhance your health and well-being by reducing symptoms,
facilitating healing, restoring balance, increasing self-understanding,
and encouraging prevention. No special equipment is required. Sessions
are tailored to meet your special needs, and a personal practice is
developed to encourage working on your own. Sessions are usually for 1-
1.5 hours at $70/hour. I hope to inspire and empower you to reach your
full potential, both physically, mentally, and emotionally leading to a
healthy, joyful, and productive life.
