While Yoga Therapy isn't a new modality, more and more people are realizing the value of a practice which heals the whole human body and its systems. Yoga practices typically focus on physical postures and breathwork. Restorative practices use props to help the body deeply relax. Yoga therapeutic practices tailor postures and breathing for specific health conditions. They may adapt postures or hold them longer to meet therapeutic goals like reducing stress, pain or increasing flexibility.

Teachers are given 1 decompression ball for teacher training. The IPATH balls are soft and specifically made to decompress the spine and align joints in the body. Tennis balls aren't soft and have been used for fascial release. In the IPATH Method, we don't not advise using a tennis balls to manipulate fascia, since it has been known to bruise fascia. There are other more dense balls or rollers when used with a certified and trained teacher can be very effective for myofascial release. BUT and big BUT! We don't use our IPATH ball for myofascial release. We begin MFR using held poses and yoga blocks for a more organic experience. Just think for $22.00 and a few yoga blocks, you can completely lengthen your body and end chronic pain.
