 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I graduated from Touchstone and continued with aftercare through Shine Mental Health. It was one of the best experiences I've had, and I learned a lot. Since graduating six months ago, I've learned how to better deal with my trauma and manage my emotions. I'm grateful for everything I learned during the program and the positive impact it has had on my life.

FAQ’s

What does yoga therapy include?

Yoga therapy includes personalized practices tailored to individual needs, focusing on physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation techniques. It aims to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being by addressing specific health concerns and promoting overall balance. Sessions may involve lifestyle and dietary recommendations to support holistic health.

What's the difference between yoga and yoga therapy?

Yoga is a general practice that involves physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to promote overall well-being. Yoga therapy, on the other hand, is a personalized approach that adapts these elements to address specific health conditions or goals. It involves assessment and tailored practices to support healing and improve quality of life.

What's the difference between a yoga teacher and a yoga therapist?

A yoga teacher typically guides students through yoga classes focusing on physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation for general wellness. A yoga therapist, however, uses yoga practices to address specific health issues, working one-on-one or in small groups to tailor sessions to individual needs, often collaborating with healthcare professionals for therapeutic outcomes.

Does insurance cover yoga therapy?

Insurance coverage for yoga therapy varies by provider and policy. Some insurance plans may cover yoga therapy if it’s deemed medically necessary and prescribed by a healthcare professional. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand the specifics of your coverage, including any requirements or limitations. Always verify with your insurer to ensure yoga therapy is included in your plan.

What are the main principles of yoga therapy?

The main principles of yoga therapy focus on holistic healing, integrating body, mind, and spirit. It emphasizes personalized practices tailored to individual needs, promoting self-awareness and self-care. Yoga therapy uses breathwork, postures, and meditation to enhance physical and mental well-being, aiming for balance and harmony in life. It supports healing by addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
