A Holistic Path to Healing and Wellbeing
Yoga therapy is a personalised approach to health and wellbeing, blending the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern therapeutic insight. Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy focuses on your unique physical, mental and emotional needs—supporting you gently and effectively on your healing journey.
What Is Yoga Therapy, Exactly?
Yoga therapy uses tools from the yoga tradition—including:
- Movement (asana)
- Breathwork (pranayama)
- Hand gestures (mudra)
- Chanting (mantra)
- Meditation (dhyana)
These are adapted to suit your body, your life, and your goals. Sessions are conducted one-on-one or in small groups, so you receive guidance that’s safe, supportive and specific to your needs.
“Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship.”
— International Association of Yoga Therapists
