What is Yoga Therapy

At Soroka Yoga Therapy, our vision is to advance and inspire self-referential human development for every life stage. We are fueled by science, tradition, and creativity for the modern practitioner.

The yogic model of health is unique because it addresses every aspect of life rather than considering each body part or system separately. 

​"Although all yoga is potentially healing, yoga therapy is the specific application of yogic tools - postures, exercises, breathing practices, meditation techniques, and more - to address an individual's physical, mental, and emotional needs." - IAYT. 

The Chakra Model

Yoga Therapy is a safe way of working with the natural capacity of your body and mind to optimize well-being.

Because yoga itself offers tools that touch on the whole spectrum of human experience, yoga therapy can offer support for a range of concerns: 

• Pain from Various Sources
• Major Illnesses
• Neurologic Issues
• Healthy Aging
• Mental Health
• Pregnancy
• Daily Ritual
  

Yoga therapy can also support people who are dealing with stress, and those who simply want to increase their overall well-being. Learn more from the International Association of Yoga Therapists.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
YOGA & YOGA THERAPY?

General classes can certainly ease everyday aches, pains and mood complaints. But a yoga therapy session goes much further because it is tailored to the individual. IAYT certified yoga therapists have in-depth training to help them assess and keep clients safe, and to interact with other health care professionals effectively. 
​

​Yoga therapy can compliment a client's usual healthcare. 

​​HOW DOES YOGA THERAPY WORK?
​

Although yoga has been practiced in some form for millennia, we are just beginning to understand these mechanisms from a Western scientific perspective. 
A tool applied in one area - say a breathing practice - can profoundly affect a completely different area of the body or the mind. Researchers posit yoga's ability to regulate the nervous system and  affect the way the brain processes information. Another reason yoga therapy works so well is that it's not a treatment done to a patient -  instead yoga therapy empowers individuals to tap into their own innate healing capabilities.
