Science recognizes that everything in the universe works together in an absolute, intimate and extraordinary harmonious way. As more and more physicians, physical therapists and health professionals use holistic techniques, for themselves and for their patients, Clinical Therapy & Functional Yoga is growing exponentially.

Yoga is a practice not only for the body but also for the soul and mind. With regular practice it has been shown to enhance emotional well-being, mental clarity and overall sense of health. Yoga creates a high level of proprioceptiveness and a greater awareness of the physical body. Through asana practice promotes freedom of movement, skeletal alignment (orthosomy), boosts our immune system and emotional health. 
Clinical Therapy & Functional Yoga is based on Hatha Yoga regimen, uses props and techniques of Iyengar Yoga and borrows adaptations from Viniyoga. It works with personalized programs based on patient’s background and pathologies. It uses basic mobility exercises from Functional training and bodyweight movements.  One of its basic elements is the coordination of movement with mindful breathing.
