Structural Yoga Therapy™

Structural Yoga Therapy™ adapts yoga to the client’s needs.

It respects the body’s innate capacity to recognize safe, healthy movement & healing. When health is optimal, there is a natural balance of muscle strength & range of motion. But illness, injury, and structural anomalies can disrupt that harmony. Structural Yoga therapists design a unique yoga program to address the client’s pain and discomfort brought on by body misalignment or injury.

Recent medical studies confirm the value of therapeutic interventions known to yogis for thousands of years. By employing these techniques, Nitya gently invites her clients to find the personal yogic path that will carry them to spiritual growth and transformation and health.

 

The goal of yoga therapy is to return to a state of balance and harmony. Achieving this state of peace and tranquility returns the body and mind to ease. Disease naturally melts away. Give yourself the gift of harmony through yoga. Small group classes, workshops, and private Yoga Therapy sessions are offered with this goal of achieving “sattva”, and relieving suffering, pain, and discomfort.

 

This method was created in 1976 by Mukunda Stiles, creator of Structural Yoga™, and author of the seminal book, Structural Yoga Therapy and other works on therapeutic yoga and philosophy, including the recently published Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy. Mukunda Stiles is currently on the Advisory Board of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and is the founder of the Yoga Therapy Center ( www.yogatherapycenter.org )

"The purpose of yoga therapy is to lead us to the Self.  Once there, bliss is experienced”
