Yoga Therapy
Shaura is a C-IYAT accredited Yoga Therapist; she trained with the Minded Institute from 2011-to 13 and continues to be part of their lecturing and supervision team. Her work as a Yoga Therapist also tends to incorporate facets of practices she has learnt from ancient and modern traditions.
One of the primary aims of therapy with Shaura is to help the other person connect to something greater than themselves, so they can trust in the process of life. Yoga Therapy incorporates many practices that draw us closer to the deeper aspects of ourselves, where our true nature lies.
WHAT IS YOGA THERAPY
Yoga Therapy differs from a yoga class because it is tailored specifically for the client’s needs and involves a therapeutic alliance. It is unique because it draws from the vast well of Indian spiritual practices, and has also been empirically proven to be effective for many physical, mental, emotional and spiritual maladies.
In Yoga Therapy, the client explores their consciousness through the body, breath and mind (within a particular scope of practice). It is a methodology that supports wholeness in the client by also incorporating the diverse skillsets of each therapist.
It has the benefit of utilising techniques that will shift and bring balance to the physiological systems in a way that talking cannot.
The movement aspect supports overall physical health and wellbeing. There are methods to quieten the mind and develop concentration and one-pointed focus. And importantly, it supports the spiritual aspects of a person in a way that many therapies don’t.
WHY WOULD I USE IT?
Yoga Therapy is helpful for those who wish to learn how to be in a deeper relationship with their bodies and explore methods that will help them regulate their nervous system.
In a sense, it is a great way to prepare for psychotherapy, or it can pick up where psychotherapy leaves off when it can’t do much more. It is wonderful for people who have been on spiritual paths and find that something new is awakening inside of them. It can be a nourishing practice for other therapists who need to be held outside of the supervisory relationship

WHAT HAPPENS IN A THERAPEUTIC SESSION?
You will meet with Shaura and connect to what is arising within you that wishes to be worked with in that moment. Each process is unique and can be worked through by dialogue, breathing, meditation or movement. This work requires a commitment to the evolution of the Self. Those who will benefit mostly from this work are people who wish to learn how regulate their nervous systems or dive deeper into their consciousness and on the path back to wholeness.
