What is Holistic Yoga Therapy, derived from the Yoga tradition of Patanjali and the Ayurvedic system of health, refers to the adaptation and application of Yoga techniques and practices to help individuals facing challenges at any level manage their condition. This is holistic in nature, we will address the person holistically. This is solution focused and prescriptive in nature. You will leave with a detailed plan (homework) for your yoga therapy with support and guidance from Courtney.
