What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is an alternative, holistic option to traditional therapy using yoga and the techniques yoga offers us to help guide one to a balanced state of alignment through the body, mind & soul. Taking yoga past the physical plane, while still using movement and asana, diving into the deeper and subtler energies within and surrounding us. Therapeutic Yoga offers a healing modality to listen to your body, asking it what it needs in this moment and honouring the answer. Yoga has a beautiful way of empowering oneself to live life to their fullest, helping one feel their best through a variety of traditional yogic techniques. How to Flourish offers therapeutic yoga to help others gain education and awareness about themselves. Learning how one's body, mind & soul work within this world may help relieve the different types of suffering we all experience in our daily lives.
Why Yoga Therapy?
This healing modality can help with a variety of issues, including but not limited to the following:
- relieving physical or emotional pain in the body
- improving physical posture
- alleviating symptoms/learning to cope with anxiety or depression
- learning to deal with a new diagnosis
- improving digestion and your relationship with food
- improve functioning of the physical body by increasing mobility, flexibility, strength, coordination, performance and balance
- finding connection to the earth by aligning with the cycles of nature (seasonal shifts, lunar cycle)
- improvement & balancing of overall mood, emotions and resiliency

Territorial, Land & Culture Acknowledgement
I would like to acknowledge the land we are currently practising on is not ours. May we offer our gratitude to the culture, land and earth-based teachings of the Coast Salish Nations (hən̓ q ̓əmin̓ əm ̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh). As well, I have practiced on the traditional, unceded land of the Ktunaxa and Okanagan peoples, let us understand they are the original creators of natural medicine. In addition to this, we must recognize the ancestral roots of yogic culture from India, specifically the Indus Valley, and the teachers who shared this practice with us here in the west. Let us thank them for bringing these teachings to the West.
May we pay respect and gratitude to the Indian ancestors who created, translated and generously shared this practice with us in the West. As a teacher of this culture, I honour the sacred wisdom brought down to us through the multiple generations of yoga practitioners. How to flourish and those who support it, must acknowledge these healing practises were built through traditional eastern texts including the original Vedas & Upanishads from the Indus Valley. Without this Indian culture & history, yoga would not be here. To offer yoga as a service to all types of people, making it accessible & affordable, is the a large goal of How to Flourish.
