What yoga therapy is

Yoga therapy is the professional, therapeutic use of yoga’s tools, including gentle movement, breathing practices, meditation and deep rest, to support a person’s physical, mental and emotional needs. It’s complementary to medical care, never a replacement for it. And it works with your body’s own capacity, wherever you’re starting.

How it’s different from a yoga class

A group class is the same for everyone. Yoga therapy begins with you: your history, your pain, your good days and your hard ones. The practice is individualized, paced slowly, and adjusted as you change. Many people find private sessions help them learn what works for them faster than a class can.

This may be a good fit if you:



live with ongoing neck, back, headache, jaw, pelvic or other chronic pain



have already seen a physician about your pain or injury



want tools you can use at home, on flare days and ordinary days



are looking for care that takes your experience seriously

It may not be the right time if your pain is sudden, new or severe, or you haven’t yet seen a doctor about it. In that case, please start with a physician and come back once you’ve been evaluated. If you’re not sure, the clarity call is the place to ask.

What working together looks like



Free clarity call (30 minutes). We talk about what you’re living with and what you’d like more of. I’ll ask whether you’ve seen a physician about your pain, and by the end we’ll both know if working together is right. You can ask anything. Prefer to write it out? You can fill out a short application instead.



Intake session (90 minutes). On Zoom, we go through your history, your pain and your goals together. I’ll also get a baseline of your breathing and take a gentle look at how you move.



A practice made for you. Nothing off the shelf. I build your yoga therapy plan from what you tell me and what I see: gentle movement, breath and deep rest chosen for your body and the way pain shows up in your life. We shape it together, and we change it as you change.



Weekly personal 1:1 sessions (60 minutes). We adjust your home practice as your body, your pain and your life change.



Accountability. You’ll have access to a Signal channel to stay in touch between sessions, and for gentle accountability check-ins.

A small gift for a hard day

A short guide for the days pain flares, plus two short audio practices to follow along with and a personal flare day plan.
