Yoga therapy provides a body of powerful techniques that can be applied to radically improve health, prevent illness,  manage and cure disease.

Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda are sister sciences.

Ayurveda gives theoretical understanding of health and illness and provides practical and scientific advice on how to maintain health and treat illness.

Yoga Therapy provides practical tools with which we can expand our awareness and to realize what it is our body truly needs.

Increased awareness through practicing Yoga allows us to feel what is going on in our body-mind and empowers us to improve our health and to change for the better.
