Gentle Therapeutic Yoga
Workshops full of TLC
These programs consist of gentle therapeutic yoga exercises that will help lubricate and strengthen client bodies and minds. Breath is incorporated to enable release of toxins and decrease stress.
Having had experience with arthritis and whiplash for many years caused by injuries incurred by a near-fatal car accident, the lead yoga teacher is personally aware of the fatigue, pain, lack of mobility and emotional distress these conditions cause, have caused and will cause in many people around us.
Our semi-private/private yoga classes have been customized to alleviate the common complaints regarding arthritis and other debilitating conditions. Our goal is to work with people from where they are now so that each individual can live a happier and fuller life while receiving the privacy they need and the empathy and understanding they seek.
Yoga Classes are Semi-Private and/or Private Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga.

Yoga For Whiplash
-------------------------
Whiplash is an injury to the cervical spine, which is caused by a jerking motion of the head and neck. When the head is thrown backward or forward, whiplash can occur. You can get whiplash in many other ways besides just car
accidents. Playing sports, horseplay, awkward falls or even a sudden sneeze can result in whiplash. Whiplash can certainly be painful.
Most commonly whiplash injuries are caused when a car is hit from behind. The neck is flexed and extended without head support, and these tears the muscle and ligament fibres which contract to try and protect the head.
This therapeutic yoga workshop proposes gentle mobilisation (joint freeing series) for pain relief and for restoring range of motion and relaxation techniques, such as deep abdominal breathing, to help reduce pain. These yoga sessions will also enable your upper back, shoulder, and neck muscles to relax more thereby helping you gain
back some flexibility for better movement without pain.

Chair yoga
---------------
Chair yoga, is one of the gentlest forms of yoga available, that is practiced sitting in a chair, or standing
using a chair for support. The poses, or Asanas, are often adaptations of Hatha yoga poses.
Complicated maneuvers
and
complex movements are not present in a chair yoga class. Within this
type of yoga class, you can cover standing, seated, and prone postures.
Most of these classes use the chair only, due to the difficulty of
getting
down or up off the floor.
Chair Yoga classes are
often seen in senior centers, people with assisted living lifestyles,
nursing homes, adult day care centers, and physical rehabilitation
units. Clients can learn many kinds of yoga postures, breathing
techniques, meditation, and ways of relaxation, with the aid of a chair.
Chair
yoga has helped people with the symptoms of many health issues
including: hypertension (high blood pressure), anxiety, chronic fatigue
syndrome, arthritis, vertigo (medical), multiple sclerosis, carpal
tunnel
syndrome, clinical depression, and chronic pain.
