Larry Payne's Yoga Therapy Rx Wellness Plan

East-West Wisdom for a High Stress World

   

Larry Payne's Yoga Therapy Rx Wellness Plan is a synthesis of the ageless wisdom of Yoga from the East with the most recent knowledge in complementary health from the West. Using the 8-Step Wellness Plan, you can:

Reduce stress
Eliminate pain
Increase productivity
Enhance energy and stamina
Improve mental health and well-being
Achieve a balanced state of body and mind

Health professionals agree that good health results from a balanced state of body and mind. Chronic back pain and resulting stress lowers our resistance and immune power, resulting in a psycho-physiological imbalance that affects other areas of our life.

Dr. Larry Payne has shown top executives at such prominent Fortune 500 companies as IBM, Nestle, the Walt Disney Company, J. Paul Getty Trust, U.S. News and World Report, and numerous advertising agencies how to avoid back problems, eliminate stress and achieve a balanced state of body and mind. He has coached celebrities Warren Beatty, Cybill Shepherd, Dolly Parton, Ted Danson, Ringo Starr, Vicki Lawrence and Daryl Hannah to increase their overall state of health and wellness.

Dr. Payne's Yoga Therapy Rx Wellness Plan has benefited thousands of clients during the past 12 years.

Here's how the Yoga Therapy Rx Wellness Plan program works:
Assessment

The initial visit is a full hour and includes: a detailed personal history, an evaluation of your strength and flexibility in simple Yoga postures, a breath capacity analysis and the initial recommendations for your personal Yoga program.

Biomechanical Re-Education

A complete evaluation of your body alignment throughout a typical day. A short course on sitting, standing, lifting, walking and sleeping. A special emphasis is placed on walking or gait training.

Personal Yoga Program

Designed to bring both strength and flexibility to your spine as well as an over-all state of balance to the body and mind. Incorporated are principles of: breathing, Yoga asana, dynamic and static movement, and sequencing. A 15-30 minute format is recommended to fit your busy schedule.

Journal

The first phase provides a dialogue for changing situations that aggravate your symptoms. The second phase provides you with a simple system to record the progress of your Yoga program and to rate your overall state of wellness.

Food Choices

Recommendations for healthy food choices are essential to any life-style change program. We offer suggestions to meet your individual needs. Our own research shows that an increased level of water intake is very beneficial during rehabilitation work.

Rest and Relaxation

There is no substitute for an adequate amount of rest and relaxation. Yoga offers proven techniques to quiet the mind and totally relax the body. We emphasize Yoga breathing methods, Meditation, the use of sound, and Yoga Nidra, the art of relaxation.

Renewal & Yoga Vacations

Most self help programs like Yoga need support systems. We offer on- going private lessons, group classes and annual Yoga vacations.
