There’s no "right" or "wrong" way to make art. Everyone has an inner artist, and no prior experience is necessary. Here are some of the benefits I’ve personally seen and experienced:
About me and yoga therapy
by Natasha WhelanWhat is yoga therapy?
Yoga Therapy uses the yoga traditions of movement, breathing, and deep relaxation to promote all round health, as well as alleviate medical conditions. It is a personalised approach centred around your goals and individual needs.
I use yoga as either primary or complementary therapy. For example, when I had a recent client who had whiplash, she went to a physiotherapist and an osteopath as her primary care. I used yoga therapy as a complementary therapy to help her manage the pain and recover from the accident, which left her in a heightened stress state.
