What is Yoga Therapy?

All yoga is therapeutic, but not all yoga is Yoga Therapy.  Yoga Therapy addresses chronic issues faced by the client, to improve quality of life.  The Yoga Therapist has an understanding of the applications of yoga to specific medical needs and coordinates with other professionals that may be involved in the care of the client.  A Yoga Therapist is a client's health advocate.  Traditional yoga exercises for the body, breath, and mind are paired with yogic philosophy and techniques, which bring to light underlying patterns that habituate chronic issues and aid in charting a new course ahead.  Clients are empowered to use yoga in all aspects of their lives.

Our Yoga Therapists are credentialed by the International Association of Yoga Therapists.

The Physical

Develop greater control of your body and mind with Yoga classes customized to your needs and abilities.  Yoga poses, breath work and concentration exercises are tailored to the client.  We will also employ strategies to improve diet and decrease stress, where necessary.  By the development of a more relaxed body and mind, we cultivate a mindful attitude and greater joy in life.

​The Intellectual

Through discussion and reflection, Yoga Therapy will deepen the client's understanding of yogic philosophy, increasing perspective and resilience.  Combined with meditation techniques, the philosophical underpinnings of yoga will enhance the client's understanding of their journey through their practice.

The Emotional

The client will have the opportunity to explore their emotional depths, through practices designed to discover and affirm their own true self.  Hidden patterns will be brought to light and strategies to realign will be shared.  Clients will find a safe and nurturing environment.  Yoga Therapy is designed to produce greater contentment in the client's life.
