What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga Therapy involves working one-on-one with a yoga instructor to promote health and well-being through yoga practice. This includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practice to achieve your desired health and wellness goals.

Yoga therapy is a holistic approach to wellness that integrates the ancient principles and practices of yoga with the knowledge of modern healthcare. It is designed to address physical, mental, and emotional challenges by tailoring yoga practices to meet the specific needs of individuals. Unlike traditional yoga classes that often focus on generalized sequences, yoga therapy uses a personalized approach to support healing and overall well-being. This therapeutic modality combines physical postures, breath work, meditation, and lifestyle advice to enhance the body's natural ability to heal and balance itself.

Empowering You Through Mindful Movement

Private and semi-private yoga classes are particularly beneficial in the context of yoga therapy because they allow for a more individualized and focused experience. In a private session, the yoga therapist can work one-on-one with the student, creating a customized practice that addresses specific issues, such as chronic pain, stress, anxiety, or physical limitations. This level of personalization ensures that the student receives the most appropriate and effective practices for their unique needs.

Yoga therapy can help with:

Chronic pain management

Reducing stress and anxiety

Improved flexibility and mobility

Enhanced mental clarity and focus

Better sleep quality

Support for emotional well-being

Strengthening the immune system

Improving posture and alignment

Managing chronic health conditions

“Highly recommend Erin for physiotherapy! She has treated a few injuries over the past 3 years and helped me manage chronic pain. I think she is professional, kind, caring, knowledgeable and always runs on time. The clinic space is lovely and it's so nice to be able to book appointments online. She has a brand new Shockwave machine that works great for foot/heel pain. So glad I found Erin for physio!”

"I’ve struggled with various pains and aches for a while and wanted yoga to be part of a holistic lifestyle improvement solution. Joining a big class felt a bit daunting so when I saw the sign about Emma's mobility yoga classes, I decided to try. Her calming presence and genuine care have been transformative. With her help, I've become more comfortable in my body, began to experience less pain, and started to develop the confidence to join group classes. I look forward to continuing this journey with her and highly recommend her to anyone seeking peace and healing through yoga"

“I went to Brittany for massage therapy on my wife's recommendation. As a first timer, she immediately put me at ease. She has a friendly personality and is easy to talk to and that made the experience absolutely comfortable. I was pleased with the results of her treatments as my back pain was diminished after a few sessions. I would recommend Brittany as a massage therapist."

- Octavio

“Brittany was my massage therapist for 3 years until I moved out of the area. With chronic back pain from scoliosis and arthritis, she was able to alleviate pain that prevented me from the active lifestyle I was used to. She displayed a tremendous amount of professionalism as a therapist. Before each session she asked if there were changes in my health and which areas I would like her to work on. Throughout the massage she made me feel comfortable by allowing me to choose whether we talked or not. Our conversations were always appropriate and positive. She was always punctual and flexible in her scheduling. I would highly recommend Brittany for your massage therapy needs!"

- Janet

“I had my first massage in about 7 years and it was amazing!! Lindsay was very professional and asked all the questions to make sure I was getting a massage catered to my needs!! I carry all my tension and stress in my upper back and shoulders, I could feel relief almost immediately!!!"

- Melissa C

"I am currently seeing Lindsay L., who is a pro at deep tissue massage. She's so kind & makes me feel at ease while getting out all of the deep knots! She also has done cupping as an additional treatment on my 90 minute massages, which has been a huge relief for my back & keeps me coming back for more!
