“Yoga is a science and a discipline to which many Yogis dedicate years of concentrated effort; it is also the art of effortlessness, in which we discover within ourselves, a self which is already whole and complete and to which nothing needs to be done.” Joseph LePage, Integrative Yoga Therapy “Yoga Therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well being through the application of the philosophy and practice of yoga.” IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therpy) |
Discover within
you a self that is already
whole and healed through the art and science of yoga. Historically, yoga
was
learned within a student/teacher relationship. Because each individual is
unique, the benefits of group classes are limited.
