“Yoga is not about getting to know the postures. It is about getting to know yourself”
Gary Kraftsow (International yoga therapist)
Authentic Moves – Yoga therapy
Yoga therapy at Castlemaine Play therapy is a self-empowering process to enhance their feelings of health and wellbeing.
This mindfulness based therapeutic service is undertaken within a warm, client-centred and supportive therapeutic relationship. The principles of yoga are used to explore client needs then a range of simple yoga practices that may include postures, breathing and mudras are defined to meet individual requirements.
In a yoga therapy session, the client will explore five dimensions:
- Physical body and cells
- Breath/mindfulness
- Thoughts
- Personality characteristics
- Heart and emotions
Prior yoga experience is not necessary – this is not a yoga class. Individual sessions are offered for adults, young people and children.
