Yoga Therapy in Leicester

Yoga therapy involves the application of yoga principles, poses, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices to address physical, mental, and emotional health concerns, promoting holistic well-being and self-healing. This is not yoga as you know it. This is yoga therapy – formulated to help you with specific symptoms, conditions and ailments. This therapy uses yoga as medicine, harnessing its healing attributes. It is well-recognised now that the practice of yoga has many benefits for physical and mental health – and with yoga, we take those positive effects to the next level.

The idea of using yoga as therapy began in the 1920s when Swami Kuvalyananda started to measure the physical and physiological changes that occurred through yoga practice. Research since then has been building to the point where we are now able to apply the specific effects and benefits of yoga to medical conditions. At The Health Suite Leicester, we have an experienced yoga therapist, Sarah, who understands physical and mental health well. Sarah can offer a complimentary 15-minute telephone consultation to help you understand how yoga therapy can help address your health and well-being concerns.

Yoga is a powerful tool for improving sleep quality by calming the mind, relaxing the body, and reducing stress—key factors in achieving restful sleep. By integrating yoga into a nightly routine, individuals can cultivate a peaceful state conducive to deep and rejuvenating sleep. Yoga can significantly improve digestive health by promoting relaxation, enhancing circulation to abdominal organs, and stimulating the digestive system. By harmonising mind and body, yoga fosters a holistic approach to maintaining digestive well-being.
