A Yoga Therapy session focuses on deep relaxation and stress reduction. 

Unlike regular group Yoga classes, your session is all about you and your needs, as opposed to the group setting. Yoga Therapy is designed to help each individual release tension, restore balance, and attain an ongoing sense of calmness and wellbeing.

It's so important to learn how to self regulate and manage stress. Yoga Therapy sessions can empower you to utilise the poses as tools to reset and approach life with a peaceful heart. 

Here's what you might expect in a typical Yoga Therapy session:

• Setting the environment: Christine utilises specialised equipment, known as props to support you in the Yoga poses. These props enable your body to derive the benefits from the session, irrespective of how tight or inflexible you body may feel. 

• A sequence of poses  are tailored toward your needs, Christine calls them Yoga remedies. They address your symptoms that have brought you to the appointment.

• You will be guided throughout the session, to encourage a deeper connection to the abiding stillness that always is -- but has been occluded by the stresses and  busyness of everyday life. 

This is a safe space, where you can leave all your concerns behind and bring your full attention to healing.

Christine's knowledge and experience will guide you into and out of each pose that has been chosen for you. No strenuous effort is required and there's absolutely no need to push or strain. 

After each session, Christine will prescribe some supported poses that you can practice at home, to calm your nervous system and bring you back to a balanced state of being, for living everyday life with equanimity.

1. Christine provides adjustments and modifications to the poses to ensure that you experience the appropriate level of comfort and relaxation in each pose.

2. Breathwork and mindfulness: Throughout the session, you will be taught how to focus on your breath by using some specific techniques. This encourages a deep relaxation and can help you develop mental clarity.

3. Closing sequence: Towards the end of the session, you will be gently guided out of the restorative poses and into a comfortable seated or lying position for a final relaxation (Savasana).

Yoga Therapy is suitable for anyone seeking relaxation, stress relief, and a way to reconnect with their inner calmness and peace. For more information: www.yogatherapy.shireyoga.com.au
