Therapeutic Yoga


This process both educates and empowers individuals to make clinically proven, healthful, choices about work, nutrition, rest, relationships, movement and thoughts.

Step off the mat and into the world. Yoga is more than postures and breathing practices; it’s about self-discovery and exploration. Who are you really? Why do you do the things you do? How can you change what you want to change? How can you apply your personal yoga to daily life? Therapeutic yoga can help you find the answers.

Everyone who’s interested in deepening their self-care practice can benefit from therapeutic yoga. It’s also helpful if you’re experiencing negative effects of high stress or chronic pain or if you have a physical, mental or emotional diagnosis and are seeking tools to help you manage it.
