According to the WHO, Ayurveda "Science of Life" became in 1982 a global therapeutic method. The Ayurvedic approach proposes a holistic accompaniment of the being. From then on, it focuses on the person as a whole and not on the disease. It expresses healing through the different doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) as well as through the five elements (Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Ether).

Adopting a global and therefore holistic method, yoga will come to accompany a person who is looking for harmony and balance in life.

The benefits of therapeutic yoga

- Physical body: The different parts of the body are mobilized through muscle strengthening, sheathing, toning, relaxing the body, relieving tension and stretching. Yoga offers physical exercises, yoga postures as well as sequences tailored to each individual.

- Emotional body: find inner peace, develop self-awareness, work on stress management in the present moment, focus on implementing positive thinking, discover mindfulness, but also focus on explanations of different relaxation techniques to release tensions.

- Energy body: By activating the bandhas, life energy flows harmoniously through the nadis (meridians). The chakras (energy wheels) absorb and transmit this energy that flows through them. From then on, the practice of yoga allows for alignment and proper energy balance. The energetic axis is subtle and the spiritual dimension is added to the healing process.

Don't think of it as a spiritual elevation like the coming of the Messiah, but let yourself be accompanied by a new vision of life.

It is this new road that allows for a new balance in life.
