Bringing You the Serenity of Yoga

Welcome! At Marti Ewing, Yoga Therapy we know that yoga is not a one size fits all exercise. 

​

  • Are you tired of being in pain?

  • Are you recovering from illness or injury?

  • Do you simply want to feel the relaxation of a gentle practice?

  • Do you need a more accessible Yoga class for your ability?

​

Everyone deserves equal access to the ancient teachings of yoga. Recuperative Yoga is a Therapeutic Adaptive Yoga 

​

Private and Group Lessons are available in San Antonio.  Book a class or call 210-538-4910 and see how this unique practice of Recuperative Yoga can help.

​​

In a private consultation, we’ll work together to identify your greatest strengths, and also the weaker areas, and what will benefit you  the most for a strong yoga practice.  Learn what works best for you. Learn yoga as it was intended for your body, at your own pace, and fitness level.

​​

Marti will come to your home or you may visit Marti’s small boutique studio for private and semi-private lessons.

​​​

Marti usually suggests private lessons first where you can expect a postural assessment, a discussion of your overall health, and health goals,  and the development of a plan.  Come and experience what a PRIVATE consultation will do for you.

LET'S  TALK! 

Marti's Bio: 

Marti Ewing, Certified Yoga Therapist, ERYT- 500 hours teaching experience

Specialty since 2009 is Recuperative Hatha Yoga.

Recuperative Yoga:

- Restores and maintains body's appropriate range of motion

- Creates good alignment

- Develops muscle balance 

- Cultivates physical awareness  

Recuperative yoga recognizes that not every pose is for everybody and puts the spotlight on muscle functions and body mechanics. Simple exercises and yoga postures restore balance, strength and flexibility. This very specialized practice is good for those recuperating from an injury or illness or those managing a chronic problem. It also benefits athletes recuperating between games. 

The advantages of this practice can be seen in faster recovery times, longer strides and better range of motion. Marti initially sought out this practice to help her sister who is disabled. She soon realized classes for those with special needs were very limited.  After studying yoga under Julie Byrd, she found that she was able to adapt the practice to meet her sister’s limitation and found that her sister slept better, was less depressed, and had better range of motions. This is when Marti became passionate about teaching people this practice to create more balance in mind and body to those that would not normally have access to this kind of modality.  Her teaching incorporates strength building and stress reduction techniques, along with restorative practices and a good dose of playfulness. 

 

Other accomplishments: 

-She created the yoga program in the Integrative Medicine Department at St. Luke’s Hospital in the Texas Medical center, where physicians write consults for yoga and meditation. This includes work with hospice patients and special needs children. 

-She created a yoga program on The Rehabilitation Hospital at St. Luke’s guiding patients through relaxation, stress reduction techniques and other mindful practices. 

-Worked with Baylor College of Medicine to create a class for post-op breast cancer patients and has special training in Pink Ribbon Yoga 

--Developed a meditation component for initial nurse training at St. Luke’s Hospital 

-Presented at The Texas MD Anderson Yoga Conference for Health to other yoga therapist and medical staff.

 -Created the Yoga Program in the Wholistic Arm of the Veterans Administration 

-Workshops and Retreats on health yoga, nutrition, music therapy, art, dance and health coaching.  

Everyone can benefit from a customized practice that recognizes the needs of each body. Through functional anaCertified tomy and understanding how muscles work together, Marti can guide a lifelong practice for optimum body strength and injury prevention, as well as reduced stress
