What is Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy involves the stretching of different muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments across your body to activate a response in your nervous system which tells your body to return to normal function. For a more detailed explanation see the service page.
What is Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate their suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner. Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve as a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person at all levels.
