“The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.”
— Paracelsus

Health is a state of ‘be-ing’ where one is both physically and mentally in harmony and at the optimum state of functioning. It is important for every individual to understand the fact that healing is a process of the self, through the self, and by the self alone. And this happens only when one desires to be healthy and seek a solution which is long term. A dis-ease is a state that intrudes when this state of ‘be-ing’ is interrupted. Therefore, it is necessary that one must probe into the causes of ill-health and address the issue from the roots.

Our Yoga Therapy sessions help individuals understand and address the concerns from the roots and provide schedules and practices that help them work towards healthy living.

Therapeutic Yoga lessons are customized for those suffering from a variety of issues such as chronic back pain, stiff neck, insomnia or any kind of stress-related issues. The therapy classes consist of therapeutic exercises along with other Yogic disciplines. Our experienced team motivates and helps mentor the individual to bring about changes in lifestyle, thereby restoring wellness.

With time, once the individual feels that he/she is close to optimum health, he/she is motivated to join a small group lesson which will push their confidence to the next level. Our safe, hygienic and healing ambience is an absolute treat for those who wish to regain their health and vitality and also for those who just wish to refresh themselves after a tired day’s work.

• Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing modality, where the therapist applies pressure to key pressure points along the body to promote the unrestricted flow of life-giving energy. This provides an optimum environment for the body’s natural healing abilities to work. Acupressure helps in releasing muscle tension and increases blood circulation. Its benefits can be felt in many types of conditions such as headaches, neck and back pain, menstrual cramps etc.

• Naturopathy

This is a holistic form of treatment that uses diet, exercise and natural remedies to work together to help the body heal. Once again it can be used to treat a number of mental and physical ailments. It has been found effective in treating cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal pain, Type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, depression and anxiety among other conditions.

• Reflexology

Reflexology is a form of massage therapy wherein the therapist applies pressure on key points along the soles of the feet, hands and even ears that are believed to correspond to various organs and systems of the body. By massaging these key points, healing can be promoted, and the accompanying stress of the condition reduced. Reflexology helps to boost the immune system; fight cancers, colds and bacterial infections; combat sinus issues, rectify hormonal imbalances, boost fertility, improve digestion and ease arthritis pain among other things.

• Therapeutic Yoga

If you are in chronic pain due to specific musculoskeletal issues, Yoga therapy can help. Through a combination of facilitated stretches and strengthening exercises, your specific issue can be addressed. Once pain is relieved and those muscles strengthened you can join a regular Yoga program to maintain strength, stability, and flexibility. Yoga therapy is effective for all types of muscle pain — neck, shoulder, back, knee etc.

• Alternative Therapy

This is another ancient healing modality wherein cups are placed against a person’s skin with either a piece of paper or some herbs inside that is set on fire before the therapist quickly upturns the cup and seals it against the client’s skin. The vacuum that results cause the flame to die almost instantly. However, the heat generated helps in bringing more blood circulation to that area which in turn promotes healing. Cupping therapy is effective for people with lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, headache and migraine, knee pain, facial paralysis, cough and dyspnea, acne, asthma, and hypertension.

Nutrition and diet

With an emphasis on holistic healing, we believe diet management is essential for rapid, continued all-round healing. Our diet regimens and advice are based on the Ayurvedic principles of body types in combination with Yoga. It is an integrated approach that considers individual body constitutions, offering customized diet plans and a customized Yoga practice that includes specific postures, breathing techniques and meditative affirmative practices.

The minimum number of therapy sessions required to bring about a change in the condition is 10 sessions. More sessions may be required depending on the individual and how chronic the condition is.
