FAQ: 

Is Yoga Therapy only for people who have physical conditions/injuries? 

No. It’s a non-prescriptive approach in finding the core of our stress/issues/suffering that usually manifest into physical ailments. In fact, Yoga Therapy helps yoga practitioners looking to deepen their practice, esentially taking your practice off the mat.

How does it benefit yoga practitioners/teachers?

Yoga Therapy teaches us how to integrate the 8 limbs of yoga into all aspects of our lives, especially our relationships, and ultimately, can help us towards self-realization.
