Yoga Therapy is a holistic approach to health and well-being that applies the tools of yoga—movement, breathwork, mindfulness, sound, Yoga Nidra, and/or meditation—in a personalized and therapeutic way. It bridges the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern science to support healing at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Unlike a general yoga class, yoga therapy is tailored to meet your individual needs, health concerns, and goals. Whether you are managing chronic pain, recovering from trauma, living with anxiety, depression, PTSD, cancer, or navigating life transitions, yoga therapy offers practical tools to help you feel more balanced, empowered, and connected.
A certified yoga therapist works with you one-on-one or in small groups, creating a safe and supportive space to explore your unique experience. Sessions may include:
Gentle, accessible movement to restore strength and mobility
Fully supported restorative yoga poses
Sound healing
Breathing techniques to regulate the nervous system
Guided relaxation, mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, or meditation to reduce stress and enhance clarity
Practices that increase body awareness and support emotional resilience
Yoga therapy complements conventional medical care and can be a meaningful part of your wellness journey. It meets you where you are—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and helps guide you toward where you want to be.
