INTEGRAL POSTURAL ALIGNMENT THERAPEUTICS
IPATH YOGA
Postural Alignment
For the first time in human history, we live and work in environments where we don't need to move. Sitting at a desk is just as detrimental to your body as heavy lifting or physically strenuous work. Generations are getting tech neck from mobile device use, and even though as a culture, we are living longer, our bodies need to keep up with our lifestyle habits. Humans are built to stand upright and sleep flat-the heart and cardiovascular system work more effectively that way.
Living a sedentary lifestyle or involuntarily allowing gravity to pull the body towards earth (spiraling-in) could cause stress on the spine and. major joints could lead to immobility, and internal dysfuntion over time.

Maintaining good posture is key to reducing stress on the body. Challenges with posture overtime can restrict muscles and put pressure on joints, often leading to pain. But, let's go the root cause - FASCIA. Fascia is the connective tissue network that wraps, links, and supports every part of your body. It’s the quiet conductor behind posture, mobility, and how you feel from morning to night.
Yoga intended to feel and live better ~ Not simply to pose better.
When postural habits harden, or when the body experiences dehydration, repetitive strain, or aging, fascia can become tight or dehydrated. That tension can tug on nerves, restrict movement, and keep you stuck in the same uncomfortable patterns—no matter how much you stretch or massage.IPATH yoga focuses on supported poses that allow the body to relax into proper alignment. This retrains muscles to find and maintain their optimal length.
Zoom Classes
Supported poses take pressure off problem areas. For example, using bolsters under the back, knees, or head takes weight-bearing pressure off the lower back, hips, and neck where pain may be present.
​
Shared experience can help reduce feelings of isolation. Creating community IPATH classes give chronic pain sufferers an opportunity to be among others also experiencing pain. This peer support network provides motivation and strategies for mindful and effective pain solutions.

Decompression
​
The IPATH decompression ball techniques use leverage, pandiculation (a form of held movements) and gravity to take pressure off joints, which provides relief from pain caused by conpression on joints, nerves and even cartilage. By stretching and lengthening the body in a supported way, it allows joints like the spine, hips, amd shoulders to open and release tension, taking pressuer off nerves and reducing discomfort.
