About Yoga Therapy
Yoga has always traditionally been taught on an individual level, with tailor-made sessions designed to address unique and specific physical and mental conditions - a practice that cannot be implemented in classes with a large group of students.

- Designing tailor-made yogic practices according to the individual's body type and lifestyle
- Effectively addressing and treating an individual's physical and mental ailments through such tailored practices
- Planning a nutritious yogic and Ayurvedic diet programme, recommending lifestyle changes and treating addictions through yogic mindful living and meditative practices
- Understanding and applying the practices and philosophy of yoga in our daily lives, as well as advocating their benefits to family and friends
- Being in connection with nature's five elements, adopting a healthy and environmentally-conscious lifestyle and truly understanding our responsibility as human beings on all levels and stages
