YOGA THERAPY

Yoga therapy is a personalized, therapeutic approach to yoga that uses movement, breathing techniques, relaxation, and meditation to support physical and mental health. Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy is adapted to the specific needs of an individual, often focusing on managing or improving particular health conditions.

It is commonly used to support people with chronic illnesses, neurological conditions, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and stress-related conditions. As a trained yoga therapist, I assess each individual’s abilities, symptoms, and goals, then design a safe and tailored practice—either one-to-one or for groups.

Key Features of Yoga Therapy

• Individualized approach – sessions are tailored to each person’s condition and limitations

• Gentle and accessible – uses modified poses and props for safety and comfort

• Integrates multiple techniques – including:

  • Physical postures (asanas) 

  • Breathing exercises (pranayama)

  • Relaxation techniques 

  • Meditation and mindfulness​

In Simple Terms

Yoga therapy is not just exercise—it is a guided, therapeutic practice that uses yoga as a tool to help people manage health conditions and improve wellbeing in a safe, structured way.
