Therapeutic Yoga and the Mysore Room


            Portsmouth Yoga Shala offers a class several times a week called Therapeutic Yoga. Therapeutic Yoga can be explained in three words: breath, movement and consciousness. The class is considered a therapeutic class because Jason, owner of Portsmouth Yoga Shala and teacher of all Therapeutic classes, teaches in a way that is very meticulous about detail regarding structural alignment, engagement of the muscle groups and energetic rotations.
     Therapeutic Yoga is a means to access yoga in a very safe but active way that is appropriate for ALL ages. It is accessible to all levels, and intends to challenge advanced practitioners as well as to inspire and teach beginning students. It is also a great practice for people working through illness or injury because it works on not only the physical body but the mind body and spiritual body as well.
             Any class at the Shala, including the Therapeutic class, can be used to build one’s own individual practice. Mysore classes offered at the Shala are a perfect opportunity to do so. They are like an open studio, where one can arrive whenever is convenient for them and practice at their own pace with adjustments and direction from Jason. One can better refine and define their practice through the detailed instruction in a Therapeutic class, but also hone in on challenging areas and gain individualized instruction in the Mysore room.

Please come over to the Shala and visit us for a class! Also, check out our Summer Specials on the website! See you soon!!
