IAYT-Certified Yoga Therapist, Deborah Uma Sheetz, is available to help you access the therapeutic properties of yoga to address your individual concerns. A yoga therapist looks at the whole person and recommends various yogic practices that can bring relief and improve (but typically not cure) a variety of conditions.
Therapeutic yoga can be a critical piece of a complete plan to address physical or mental challenges. Try a session to get a taste of how yoga can help you or sign up for a series of sessions to experience the healing power of yoga and receive a customized plan you can use at home.
