What Is Yoga Therapy?

‘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.’ (IAYT definition)

It is a holistic and individualised approach blending the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern therapeutic practices. It’s not just about physical postures—it’s about addressing the whole person as a non dual entity - body, mind, and spirit.

In a 121 yoga therapy session, we work together to assess your personal goals and together create a home yoga practice that supports your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re managing stress, chronic pain, emotional imbalances, or seeking spiritual growth, yoga therapy uses tools like asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathwork), meditation, and mindfulness to help you restore balance and feel better.

And Is It Right for You?

Yoga Therapy isn’t about what level you are with your yoga practice or achieving perfect postures, but about finding balance and ease that works for you. Here are some signs yoga therapy could be worth trying:

You Struggle to manage your Stress or Anxiety

Yoga therapy can help you manage stress, calm your mind, and cultivate relaxation. With postures, guided breathwork and mindfulness, you’ll learn how to cope with stress and anxiety to bring more peace into your life.

You have Chronic Pain or Injuries

Whether it’s back pain, arthritis, or a past injury, yoga therapy can gently improve mobility and offer relief, helping you move with less discomfort and support your recovery.

You Feel as Though you Need a Mind-Body Reset

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body or emotions, yoga therapy can help you re-establish that connection and promote self-awareness, balance, and clarity.

You’re Struggling with Emotional Imbalance

Yoga therapy can help you process emotions, release tension, and bring emotional healing, so you can feel lighter, more grounded, and in control.

You’re Looking for a More Holistic Healing Approach

If you’ve tried other methods and want a more integrative, individualistic practice that looks at the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - yoga therapy might be the perfect fit.

If any of this resonates with you, yoga therapy could be exactly what you need! If you’re ready to explore how it can support you on your journey then email me to book a session or a free discover call to chat further.
