Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices.

We begin with a thorough intake: your history, your diagnosis, your daily life, your constitution. From there you receive a tailored plan drawing on movement, breath, meditation, and lifestyle guidance, designed to work alongside your conventional medical care toward a defined therapeutic goal.

The goals of yoga therapy include eliminating, reducing, or managing symptoms that cause suffering; improving function; helping to prevent the occurrence or reoccurrence of underlying causes of illness; and moving toward improved health and wellbeing.

This is the most individualized and clinically oriented of the three yoga modalities, well suited to non-communicable and chronic conditions, and to pre-hab and rehab around surgery.
