“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.
