The search for the right Yoga or therapy for specific problems for many is the first and most important step to best address the concern you are having.. If there are more specific medical or physical challenges that are at the root of your search for the “right” approach or you this search is even more important.

Individualized Yoga and Movement Therapy sessions are a one on one experience with an Instructor/Therapist that can tailor the techniques and practices of Yoga, Somatic Based Postural Therapy, Meditation and related disciplines to specific needs and personal goals.

Students can gain many benefits from individual work, supporting the improvements to mental and physical health. All this work is non-medical in nature. Rather than treat any disease or symptoms the aim is to address the root causes of these challenges in conjunction with medical and other therapeutic disciplines.

The International Association of Yoga Therapists, on their Yoga Therapy.Health website, discusses how Yoga therapy is set apart from more traditional Yoga taught in classes as follows:

“Although all yoga is potentially therapeutic and healing, yoga therapy is the specific application of yogic tools—postures/exercises, breathwork, meditation techniques, and more—to address an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional needs. Many people first learn about yoga through its physical practices, but a common misconception is that it’s all about stretching or movement. In fact, yoga therapy can help people who can’t move at all, as well as active individuals!” (1)
