Yoga Therapy with Dr. Rand

Videos on Breathing Techniques For Stress Reduction

The following breathing exercises are for stress relief only. They are not meant to be psychotherapy. It is possible that some emotions may come up during the breathing, so if you choose to practice the techniques, you should have some resource available to deal with them. These exercises are a way to regulate your nervous system and if practiced the way they are taught, should be safe for everyone.

Using Yoga In Therapy

As can be seen in the video clips above, yoga props, e.g., bolsters, blocks  and straps can be used to support a client's body while they assume a yoga pose. This allows tense places in the body to relax while they gently breathe into the tense areas. Yoga therapy uses the weight of the body to passively stretch the tight muscles, while the client is using no work or contraction to open the body. As you can see in the video clips, grounding, presence, breath and containment are the vehicles used to reach a state of optimal well being of mind and body (calm and energized simultaneously).
