Iyengar Yoga & Therapy

What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga Therapy is the process of improving health and well-being by applying the teachings and practices of Yoga. Yoga Therapy is derived from the Yoga tradition of Patanjali and the Ayurvedic health care system. It refers to the adaptation and application of Ayurvedic and Yoga techniques and practices to help individuals facing health challenges at any level manage their condition, reduce symptoms, restore balance, increase vitality, and improve attitude.

What are Yoga Privates?

Yoga privates are individual sessions where a yoga therapist prescribes specific postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to suit particular health concerns and needs.

What is Ayurvedic Yoga?

Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences first mentioned in the Vedas (the oldest Indian documents) around 5,000 years ago.  The yoga discipline (sadhana) and the Ayurvedic therapies (chikitsa) are two sides of the same coin. Yoga is the ultimate balance of the mind, and Ayurveda is the Indian holistic health system that brings harmony and balance to the physical body, mind, and spirit.

Yoga Therapy with Jeff Perlman

At Three Seasons Ayurveda, we practice the teachings of BKS Iyengar, who developed a system of yoga that addresses individual needs based on age, health conditions, limitations, and overability. We use yoga props to help each student find the correct alignment. During a class or private yoga session, specific sequencing and timing are used to develop strength, mobility, stability, inner awareness, and ultimately, the connection between body, mind, and spirit.

“Yoga is union; it is derived from the Sanskrit root Yuj, which means to bind, attach, join, commune, and concentrate one's attention on; yoga is the true spiritual' union of our will with the will of our God.”
