According to the International Association of Yoga Therapists: “Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga”. In yoga therapy, the traditional wisdom and techniques of yoga are adapted to the individual, with the goal of improving, maintaining and optimizing health and well-being.

Yoga Therapy addresses the whole person on all levels of being- physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual- in a collaborative, client-centered, and client-empowered way. Yoga therapy is not intended as a substitute for medical care, but instead as a means to help you achieve your own personal goals and intentions for health and well-being. Yoga therapy works in conjunction with other forms of healthcare that you receive. With your permission, I will collaborate and communicate with your other providers as necessary to ensure the safety and appropriateness of the techniques and exercises.

Yoga therapy is provided one on one or in small groups with clients having similar therapeutic needs. Practices are specifically designed and adapted to meet the specific needs and goals of the individual. The practices include postures, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation, as well as yogic philosophy and lifestyle recommendations.

What to expect:

The process of yoga therapy involves assessing and evaluating your needs, providing a yoga program to address those needs, and reviewing progress on an ongoing basis.

During your initial visit, I will perform a complete intake. This includes health history and lifestyle information, breath, energy, and postural assessments, and identifying your goals for yoga therapy. We will work together to create an initial therapeutic yoga practice to do in the office under my guidance, as well as a yoga routine for you to do at home between visits.

On follow- up visits, we will discuss progress, reassess your therapeutic needs, and make any necessary adaptations in your program so that you continue to progress toward your goals.

Fees: Initial visit- 90 minutes: $100.00  Follow-up visit- 60 minutes: $65.00
