Yoga Therapy
Although group classes are made for people of all ages and body types, certain health conditions require personal attention and unique care. Yoga therapy addresses these specific health needs.
A yoga therapist has been trained to work with the movements of yoga and modify them, in order to treat specific health issues. Some health conditions might be back pain, shoulder injury, joint pain, anxiety disorders, asthma, insomnia, autoimmune conditions, obesity, the list goes on and on.
Yoga therapy sessions are typically done in a private setting. In a session, we assess the health conditions, and come up with a unique practice, with asanas, pranayamas, possible dietary modifications, and meditation to address those unique needs. Practices to work on will be given, and follow up sessions to track improvement.

Private Sessions
If, for any reason, you’re not comfortable in a group setting, you can take one-on-one sessions with more individualized instruction. Or if you’re new to yoga and want to start off with a private session to understand the basics and then transition into a group class, that can be done too. Many students take private sessions to deepen their practice as well.
