About Structural Yoga
Based on ancient yoga practices, Structural Yoga Therapy is a yogic modality created by Boulder local Mukunda Stiles. He is an author and master yogi who combined his knowledge of physical therapy, anatomy and physiology and a lifetime of yogic studies into a individualized yoga program that encourages healthful changes in Body, Mind and Spirit based on individual needs.

While Yoga started (roughly 5,000 years ago) as a spiritual practice, it has since it came to America in the late 19th century, it has become a popular form of physical exercise. Because yoga incorporates physical exercises, breathing exercises, and meditation, it can be extremely effective in alleviating certain health conditions, such as heart disease or hypertension, asthma, and back problems.

Specifically, yoga has been proven to improve back pain through strengthening related muscles, reduce mental stress and consequently lower blood pressure, and improve resistance to harmful self-objectification and low self-esteem.

Yoga Classes
All classes are private – to ensure you get the one-on-one instruction you need.

Both classes offered at Integrative Health are based on Hatha Yoga practices. Hatha yoga, also known as Hatha vidya, is a method of physical purification that renders the body fit for meditation. “Ha,” meaning sun, and “tha,” meaning moon, refer to the main energy channels of the body. Hatha Yoga is the most popular yoga in western cultures.

Range of Motion Yoga (45 min)
Also called Pavanmukasana, Range of Motion yoga is a classical warm up. It consists of gentle range of motion movements for all of the major joints in the body. This method is also extremely effective for arthritis. Since it is an all over warm up for the joints, tendons, and muscles, it can be a session by itself—or the perfect warm up before another yoga class. Some benefits of Range of Motion Yoga are decreased stress, body awareness, and improved joint motion.

Basic Yoga (45 min)
These are poses that have been studied to be the least harmful and the most successful for the western body type. It works the body in all 6 directions. It cultivates body/breath/mind awareness as well as on flexibility, strength, and balance.
