Therapeutic Yoga for Arthritis

Yoga Therapy can help those suffering from various forms of arthritis by safely asking the joints to move in their natural range of motion which in turn helps keep them healthier longer.  Yoga Therapy helps arthritis sufferers relieve pain, reduce stiffness, decrease fatigue, and improve muscle and bone strength.   

Most traditional yoga classes are not appropriate for those living with arthritis because they don't offer variations to poses and are too fast paced.  The result is a feeling a frustration for not being able to 'keep up', little progress in your yoga practice and your physical wellbeing, and even an increase in your pain and stiffness.

Instead of a 'one size/one style fits all' attitude, Kim caters to an individual's body and goals to relieve pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and manage stress.  Yoga Therapy addresses all aspects of your health and lifestyle to help reduce your stress and anxiety which can have a direct effect on the severity of your arthritis symptoms. Yoga Therapy can help manage or even eliminate your physical symptoms to get you moving again, we increase your quality of life and get you back doing the things you love to do.  Yoga sessions with Kim can be used alone or along with physical therapy, drug therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage to help you feel better faster.
