Experience a yoga class unlike any other at Creative Therapeutics. Our yoga instructors are also physical and occupational therapists with over ten years of experience with the orthopedic population. They combine their extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology with the yogic philosophy of uniting the mind, body and spirit through the use of Hatha Yoga asanas, or poses. The instructors correct each individual's form and incorporate the use of props to correct alignment and deepen the experience of the pose. Each pose is easily adapted to ensure that participants at every level are successful. When yoga asanas are taught with attention to the body and form, they can truly bring about life altering changes. These changes range from improved strength, flexibility, and balance to decreased pain, anxiety, and tension, which can ultimately improve your quality of life and your relationships with others.

With Lynn Batalden PT
When people think of yoga, their minds are filled with the pictures they see on T.V. and in magazines; people with thin, strong bodies using extreme flexibility to touch their toes or wrap their foot around their necks. The difference between what is thought of as "Americanized Yoga" and the type of yoga we teach at Creative Therapeutics is that we focus on getting back to the roots of yoga. Our philosophy is that yoga is not meant to be goal-oriented in terms of your ability to touch your toes. We see yoga as a tool for creating self awareness, the first step to healing. Achieving self awareness is not seen as the goal of yoga but rather its inevitable outcome. When we quiet our minds, tune in to our physical, emotional and spirtual bodies and learn how to align them, healing and acceptance can inevitably occur.
