Yoga Therapy & other
Yoga Services

Yoga therapy focuses on the therapeutic application of yoga to address your specific health conditions. Therapeutic yoga looks at the whole person and seeks to find the root cause of the problem, whether it be body-based, or mind-based, or a combination. Gentle yoga practices of movement, breath and mindfulness are used with the goal of improving strength, range of motion, stamina, and more. 

​

People come to yoga therapy for different reasons. Some come after a surgery to try to get back to their "old self." Some come for help navigating big challenges such as cancer. Some come for help dealing with pain, whether physical or emotional. And many come for peace they find in the practice of yoga. Yoga can meet you where you are. You do not need to be flexible, able to balance, or even able to stand.

​

Plan on at least five to ten sessions. Sessions are usually 60 minutes long.

​The cost of your yoga therapy sessions may be reimbursable from your health savings account or flex spending account.
