Find Yoga Therapy Therapists & Counselors in Ames, IA.

 

Yoga has a wide range of physical and emotional benefits, from increased flexibility to improved mental clarity. Yoga therapy, on the other hand, is a bit different from the yoga that you may be familiar with. It is a combination of yoga and psychology.

Yoga therapists not only seek to heal your physical body and help you obtain balance, but they also work to improve your unique mental and emotional concerns to help you feel better.

Yoga therapy utilizes a variety of techniques to heal the whole person, including:

  • Psychological counseling
  • Tak therapy
  • Body stretching and movement
  • Meditation
  • Breathwork.

This is not an exhaustive list. Your yoga therapist may use other techniques to promote healing.

Whether you are located in downtown Ames, the suburbs of Ames, other nearby places such as Urbandale, West Des Moines, or anywhere else in Iowa, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

Yoga Therapy Benefits

Yoga’s mental health benefits are numerous, including:
