Yoga Therapy
with Rebecca Trussell
Yoga therapy is a customized application of yoga teachings and practices to provide an integrative approach toward wellness. Using yoga techniques such as meditation, breath-work, postural analysis, muscle testing, myofascial release, and movement, your yoga therapist develops and implements a plan of care based on your individual goals and needs. Yoga therapy can be its own practice or be used as a complementary treatment alongside psychotherapy, physical therapy, and other medical modalities. Some of the benefits of yoga therapy include, but are not limited to:
Nervous system regulation
Improved body awareness
Pain reduction/management
Musculoskeletal imbalances
Improved athletic performance
Cultivate mindfulness and redefine wellbeing
Address symptoms related to specific illness or disease (cancer/cancer treatment, anxiety disorders, chronic pain, osteoporosis, asthma & breathing disorders, scoliosis, hormonal imbalance, etc.)
For your first yoga therapy session, we will discuss your past medical history, current concerns and conditions, and your intentions for seeking out yoga therapy. I will conduct breath and postural assessments, provide muscle testing, and meditation.
Additionally, I will provide you with a plan of care to allow you to continue your yoga therapy at home between sessions.
Follow-up sessions will build on the initial work and adapt according to your response to the initial plan of care.
