Yoga Therapy With The Science of Physical Therapy For Prevention, Wellness, Healing, and Rehabilitation
Michelle Maniaci has developed a highly effective and healing form of yoga therapy that blends the science of physical therapy and energy medicine with the teachings of Viniyoga, Integrative Yoga Therapy, and the teachings of Y. Krishnamacharya, and TKV Desikachar.
An initial evaluation assesses the functioning of the Five Koshas: mental, emotional, physical (thorough evaluation of the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, neurological, and cardio-pulmonary systems), energetic, and spiritual. Michelle and her clients co-create specific goals for maximum benefit and to allow healing to occur on all levels of your being.
Michelle creates an intention at the beginning of every session to align with our Divine essence and to be guided from that place to allow your therapeutic yoga experience to unfold.
