What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is a safe, affordable and evidence based therapeutic treatment for health conditions such as: mental health, chronic pain, stress and illness.
"One major difference between yoga and many other approaches to healing is that yoga builds on itself, becoming more effective over time. This is not true of most drugs or surgery, which often gradually diminish in effectiveness."
—Timothy McCall, MD, C-IAYT, Yoga as Medicine
We use treatment approaches from Eastern traditions, blended with Western science based medicine, to provide you with a holistic path to wellness.
Sessions begin by establishing goals and a clear baseline. From this foundation, a therapeutic plan is designed for your unique needs and current state of well‑being. Progress is tracked throughout to ensure meaningful, measurable improvements. Therapy can be for individuals or in a group.
We look forward to learning more about how to best support you and your goals!
