Yoga Therapy is an option for anyone wishing to improve their lives or to speed
recovery from illness or injuries.
The modern science of yoga is the accumulated testimony, evaluation
and corroboration of practitioners. It has been clearly proven that
elements of yoga when practiced in any circumstances produces
harmonious results.
A Life in Pain
Twenty years of hard labour left my back a wreck and doctors were no help. As
with some acquaintances they said they could fuse my vertebrae and that would
end my pain, but for those I knew with spinal fusions, this was not a 100%
effective solution. In fact no surgery is. I had a minor knee operation 20 years
ago and that knee has never fully recovered.
Physical Structure
Yoga sees the body as a structure, it has a foundation, and a system of
structural alignment. However as we use our bodies, we create imbalances which
weaken the structure. Simply being right handed makes that side of the body
stronger and more responsive. During our day to day lives, we experience excess;
sometimes its over exertion, straining or tearing muscles or over eating. All
these things apply pressure to our body systems and over time, these systems can
break down - or cause us pain.
Life as Decay
Without regular balanced exercise, our bodies slowly deteriorate and as this
process occurs we begin to experience discomfort and restricted movement, or
other problems with digestion, assimilation, reproduction and other body
systems.
Longevity
Yoga teaches that a balanced active life supports not only a pain free and
active life, but a longer and happier life. Yoga exercises tone, balance and
strengthens all the bodies systems and overall metabolism, reducing pain
and suffering enabling a fuller and richer life.
If you are suffering any chronic condition, I will soon be scheduling a
small twice weekly therapy class and if you would like to improve your life,
please contact me.

“To live a life of
spontaneity, truth, love and beauty is to live in heaven.
To live a life of
hypocrisy, lies and
compromises, to live according to others, is to live in hell.
To live in freedom
is heaven, and to live in bondage is hell.” Osho
