There is a new medical certification that (so far) more than 10,000 doctors have received: "Lifestyle Medicine". This new certification trains medical doctors to "treat the whole person"...
Wow. Imagine that!?! 🧐
In this series we'll be covering all 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, as designated by the American Medical Association. And we will be covering ALL of them in each practice!
Key Aspects of Therapeutic Yoga
Highly Adaptable: Unlike traditional, one-size-fits-all yoga classes, therapeutic yoga tailors poses to the individual’s physical challenges, often using props for support.
Holistic Healing: It addresses the entire person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just targeting a specific symptom.
Focus on the Nervous System: It aims to reduce cortisol and stress, shifting the body from a "fight-or-flight" response to a calm, restorative state.
Small Movements & Breathing: Techniques include gentle, slow-paced movements (sometimes called small vinyasas) and deep breathing to increase mobility and reduce pain.
