Yoga-Informed Therapy for Emotional Well-Being

Certified-International Association of Yoga Therapists

What is Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is a gentle, body-based approach that supports emotional healing through breath, movement, and mindfulness. Rooted in somatic and trauma-informed practices, it helps you reconnect with your body, release stored tension, and feel more grounded. Sessions are tailored to your comfort and needs, and can complement talk therapy or be used on their own.

What Can You Expect:

Sessions are available one-on-one or in small group formats and are always tailored to your comfort level. They may include guided meditation, breathing practices (pranayama), gentle postures, mindfulness tools, and reflective prompts. No prior yoga experience is needed.

About the Approach

Yoga therapy is offered by trained professionals with in-depth education in both traditional yoga practices and modern therapeutic approaches. Sessions are grounded in principles of trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, and mind–body integration.

This work draws on techniques such as guided breathwork, meditation, accessible movement, and nervous system regulation. Small group experiences may be co-facilitated by professionals with complementary backgrounds in yoga, mental health, and holistic wellness, offering a well-rounded approach to emotional and physical well-being.
