Stress is one of the top predictors for injury

Perceiving something as stressful stimulates a flight-flight cascade to up-regulate your blood pressure, inflammation, pain sensitivity and many other vital functions

A healthy response is for your body to return to a baseline of rest and repair

Persistent arousal maintains inflammation with consequences ranging from blood vessel damage to tissue injury, anxiety and fatigue

Yoga helps you better cope with stressful events to reduce arousal, calm anxiety to let your body rest, reset and repair

While there is some overlap between the two there are also important fundamental differences

Physical therapy works to improve mechanical function such as muscle tone, stability, mobility and alignment for your fitness and wellbeing

Yoga is a mindfulness-based body therapy with a focus on mind-body connectivity and stress reduction for your physical and mental health

Working together yoga and physical therapy embrace the mind-body spectrum to provide you with a sound base for healthy function

The nature of the mind is to think. While the mind will not be emptied, it can be filled. This is mindfulness

At its simplest mindfulness is paying attention

Yoga practice invites you to pay attention, just  as you do when driving, reading, or enjoying a beautiful view

All mental and physical effort in yoga is gentle. This is key to avoiding tension

By becoming more aware of your movement and thinking habits, mindful attention offers you a way to free your body from tension and improve your resilience to stress

Not at all. Yoga is about balance

If your body is stiff you’ll benefit from improving your mobility

If you’re naturally supple balance may come from developing muscular tone and support

Yoga is about you, what you want to achieve, and how you want to practice

Private yoga classes offer you the best environment to address your imbalances and achieve harmony
