Yoga Therapy at Portland Treatment Center
At Portland Treatment Center, nestled amidst the tranquil beauty of Portland, Maine, we deeply understand that lasting recovery involves nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Our Yoga Therapy program is specifically designed to complement traditional treatments for mental health and substance use disorders, providing a holistic approach that fosters lasting wellness and emotional resilience.
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is an individualized practice that integrates traditional yoga techniques—physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), mindfulness, and meditation—to address specific mental, emotional, and physical health needs. Unlike general yoga classes, Yoga Therapy sessions at Portland Treatment Center are personalized, providing tailored therapeutic practices that align with each individual’s unique recovery journey.
