A general yoga class may help with everyday stress, flexibility, or relaxation. Yoga therapy goes further.
Yoga therapy sessions are tailored to the individual and may include:
- Gentle movement or no movement at all
- Breathwork and nervous system regulation
- Mindfulness and meditation practices
- Education for self-care outside of sessions
Yoga therapists receive specialized training in anatomy, physiology, mental health considerations, and trauma-informed care. This allows them to work collaboratively with other healthcare and wellness professionals when appropriate.
Yoga therapy is often used alongside physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and medical care.
