Yogapathy:

d

describes a practice of yoga with the intention to meet ourselves in healing and health, based on evidence-based therapeutic approaches of empowered self-care. 

There is beautiful word in sanskrit, sarvodhaya (sar-vo-dye-yah). It can be translated as meaning "self-care". Therapy is a word which is greek in origin, meaning an intentional, healing change. And yoga is sanskrit word often translated as "union", a bringing together of kindness and care for self-healing and empowerment. This is the aspiration of Yoga Therapy at Sangha Yoga.

Yogapathy's Intention: Empowerment of the Practitioner

Yoga Therapy at Sangha is multidimentional. Physical concerns often have their roots in emotional patterns, impressions, and habitualistic thinking. How we inhabit the body is the starting place for yoga therapeutics; how we breath, how we look outside ourselves into the world around us, how we carry our past into the present. Yoga practice interacts with these natural ways of our being, and we can become conscious of these patterns and co-create with them. Naturally, compassionately, wisely. 

​

Foundation: Maitri (Loving Kindness) 

Learning to authentically offer ourselves kindness and care, so we can offer it to others without depleting ourselves. This is one of the many gifts of yoga; through the practice of the postures we find our literal and metaphorical sense of flexibility, adaptability, mindful attention, and spacious sense of self both as an outward and as an inward experience. 

​
