Zoga Movement Therapy
Zoga is a stretching and strengthening practice based on yoga asanas and Structural Integration principles. The human body is designed to have a full range of motion, and the assessments and therapies of Zoga are specifically designed to increase the gliding movement between myofascial layers of the body.
Practicing Zoga allows you to:
- BodyRead where there is a lack of gliding movement and ‘give’ occurring in the body
- Use movement and manual guidance to elicit efficient and balanced movement
- Achieve a balanced and ‘minimum energy’ resting posture

Zoga is a modality that is designed to support the Structural Integration process with more movement-oriented interventions that empower clients to succeed through the stages of change in a Structural Integration process. On its own, it can be a beneficial therapeutic process, but the best results are achieved when Zoga is combined with the Structural Integration process.
