Yoga Therapy - Healing Through Alignment

Isn't it funny how the body talks to us? When something isn't quite right parts of you communicate to the control center (a.k.a The Brain) saying, "Hey, this hurts. Would you do something about it please?"

Without knowing how or why things work the way they do, the reason for the pain can be quite the mystery. Yet more often than not, there are simple ways to move out of discomfort, no matter how long you've been aching.

Anusara® yoga is been the fastest growing school of yoga in the world, and one of the main reasons for this is its therapeutic and super effective approach to healing. Using a system called the Universal Principles of Alignment™, anyone can learn how to bring their body into an optimal place to find freedom from pain.

The great part about this biomechanically precise method is the way it is taught, which is in a light-hearted manner. Anusara yoga approaches everything from a positive light and broad perspective, which often means these yoga therapists will see something others have missed.

When you use the alignment of Anusara yoga and the therapeutic exercises that are recommended for your individual needs, you are empowered to heal yourself. Say you have neck discomfort. Well, the root cause is most likely the way your shoulders are misaligned. An Anusara yoga instructor can help you learn how to hold yourself in a way that alleviates the imbalance that makes your neck hurt, and can give you postures and stretches that will strengthen the weak muscles, lengthen the tight ones, and bring you into optimal alignment so that you move out of pain entirely.

Take osteo-arthritis, for example. This build up of minerals in the joints can be greatly relieved and even cleared by increasing circulation to the areas affected. By aligning the body optimally, blood, lymph, breath, and other vital systems flow easily.

Though the concept is simple, optimal alignment brings optimal health, it is important to learn from a qualified yoga therapist. Anusara yoga instructors are highly trained teachers, and learn to discern the subtleties of alignment.
