The integration of yoga and Internal Family Systems Therapy offers a powerful framework for working with vulnerable emotions and physical sensations. Yoga philosophy teaches us that we are already whole and deeply interconnected with the world around us, while IFS Therapy provides valuable tools for working with emotions and sensations that arise on the mat. By integrating these two approaches, we can embrace and befriend the parts of ourselves that carry our wounds, learning to attend to them with compassion and self-acceptance. This integrated approach provides a spiritual ground that supports our journey towards holistic healing.
