Hormone Yoga Therapy

WHAT IS HORMONE YOGA THERAPY?

Hormone Yoga Therapy (HYT) is a set sequence of dynamic yoga postures, dynamic breathing techniques, Tibetan energy techniques, and yoga nidra. It balances hormones naturally and holistically, focusing specifically on the ovaries, thyroid, para-thyroids, pituitary and adrenal glands. HYT is based in science and physiology without the side effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy and was created by Dinah Rodrigues, a Brazilian psychologist and yoga therapist.

WHAT CAN HYT HELP WITH?

PMS, Peri/Premature/Menopause, Fertility Issues, Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS), Forms of Osteoporosis, Incontinence, Thyroid Problems, Hair Loss, Dry Skin, Acne, Brittle Nails, Carpal Tunnel, Prolapse, Skin Tags, Body Hair, Hot Flashes, Genital Dryness, Sex Drive, Weight Management, Digestion, Energy Levels, Anxiety, Foggy Brain, Sleep, Feeling Grounded, Happiness, Emotional Stability, Reactivity, Clarity, Confidence, Immune System and so much more.

WHY IS IT DIFFERENT THAN OTHER DYNAMIC YOGA PRACTICES?

Hormone Yoga Therapy is put together using a specific sequence of dynamic yoga postures and strong abdominal breathing which stimulates and activates the glands through massage and compression. We then move the energy using Tibetan energy techniques and reinforce the physical work. The results aren’t the same if you skip some of the steps or exercises.
