Offering a therapeutic approach using practical tools, I work with you to design a practice that addresses your specific needs. Props such as mats, blocks, straps and balls are provided. Individuals will be asked to sign a waiver and intake form before the first session. 

​Some benefits of Yoga Therapy:
~ Therapeutic approach tailored to your individual needs & goals

~ Schedule a time that's best for you
~ Great way for someone new to try yoga
~ You can't attend a regular class due to health condition or injury
~ Your health care provider recommended it

Cost:

Each session comes with an individualized plan to take home. You now have the option to have it by
video recording, making it easier for you to follow along on your own.

What is Yoga Therapy?

The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYTs) defines Yoga Therapy as " the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the philosophy and practice of Yoga". The ancient tradition of yoga incorporates a wide range of mind/body practices, from posture and breathing exercises to deep relaxation and meditation. 

Some might suggest that yoga in itself can be therapeutic. However, Yoga Therapists have advanced  training and are certified with an accredited yoga therapy school. Their training may include topics like mental health, disease, and pain, allowing them to work with more specialized groups. 


As a Yoga Therapist, one of my specialties is pelvic dysfunction. However, I also work with clients on issues such as chronic pain, stress, anxiety, depression, and other health conditions. My training includes Yoga for chronic pain, cancer, depression & anxiety, heart disease and traumatic brain injury.

I also work with prenatal & postnatal people on issues such as proper posture and breathing, as well as pelvic pain, diastasis recti and c-section recovery and scar care.


Rather than teaching students how to practice yoga, I work with clients using the tools of yoga to address their needs. I typically work one-on-one to better serve the client and after an assessment, will create a sustainable treatment plan, which address the client’s goals, help manage or reduce symptoms, improve function and may even help improve the clients attitude towards their ailment.

What it is not
Yoga Therapy is not intended nor should it diagnose illness or disease. It does not replace the care of your health care providers but can serve as a complimentary treatment in conjunction with other treatments and therapies.
