Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy: The application of yoga practices to alleviate physical and mental health conditions with the view of promoting self-care and encouraging overall well-being. Whilst the practice of yoga in general aims to cultivate the body and mind and hence has the potential for therapeutic effects, in yoga therapy we are using specific yoga practices and their known benefits to help alleviate or improve mental and physical ailments.

It is an evidence-based and holistic approach towards wellbeing. Yoga Therapy assesses multidimensional determinants of health, incorporating psychotherapeutic skills, anatomy, physiology, and the psychophysiological impact of yoga practices. Health conditions are viewed through medical and yogic lenses drawing upon up-to-date research and behavioural change science.

Sound Therapy

Sound Therapy: Sound assists the brain to slow down to the deeper rhythms normally only accessible to those very experienced in meditation. In a sound session however the brain rhythms start to slow, our awareness shifts and we become more open to perceiving life in a different way. Many experience enhanced creativity, inspiration, self-reflection, self-healing and deep relaxation. For example, sound therapy can help with; sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, stress management & pain management.

Group ‘Sound Harmonisations’ and individual ‘Sound Healing’ sessions are offered at The Shala. Sound Healing is enhanced by Colour Therapy for an immersive energy healing session.

Colour Therapy

Colour Therapy: Using colour and light to treat certain mental and physical health conditions, pure organic colour silks are placed on the body following a full body energy scan. The subtle yet powerful impact of healing with colour can be highlighted by knowing we see colour before we hear a sound. The vibration is stronger than sound and therefore the body receives more energy to heal. Each colour we see has its own wavelength and unique frequency. Each unique frequency has a different effect on people and is used for different purposes.

Colour Therapy is used for chakra and subtle field (aura) balancing. It can help with a variety of conditions, predominantly recalibrating the nervous system to a harmonious state, it has the potential to alleviate many common physical and mental health conditions.

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Yoga Massage: The health benefits of Thai Yoga Massage include lowering stress, boosting energy, and improving athletic performance. Using gentle pressure on acupressure points & meridian lines accompanied by stretching techniques to ease stress in the body, it is an ancient healing practice that originated in India 2,500–7,000 years ago. It helps to stimulate the somatosensory system, a system that plays a major role in the conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, temperature, position, movement, and vibration, which arise from the muscles, joints, skin, and fascia.

Unlike most western massage techniques, in which a person passively lies on a treatment couch, the client lies on the floor and passively participates in the massage.
