  • Musical / rhythmic intelligence

  • Intrapersonal intelligence

• Yoga Therapy
  
  In yoga therapy, yoga practices are tailored to suit individual needs, provide ayurvedic advice on nutrition and lifestyle, whilst taking medical considerations into account. Therefore, it is effective as a safe means of assisting with medical conditions.

  As complementary sciences in the Vedic tradition, Ayurveda is primarily concerned with diet and environment, while yoga primarily deals with the body, breath and mind. Together, they form a comprehensive health management system.

  Yoga therapy is applicable to a great variety of conditions, including anxiety, headache, back pain, insomnia, diabetes, scoliosis, hypertension and menstrual problems. It also cultivates body/mind reintegration and a state of balance with which one relates to oneself and others.

  Years of teaching experience has shown that yoga therapy is effective and can be practiced in conjunction with any medical treatments and other complementary therapies. No prior experience of yoga is necessary before starting.
  
  Classes are conducted on an individual basis for personal attention, differing from a group class setting.
