At the Yoga Therapy Clinic, you’ll team up with a certified yoga therapist to address physical, mental, or emotional challenges impacting your health. Your personalized journey begins with a 75-minute intake session, where you discuss your concerns and goals. Together, you explore how therapeutic yoga can support your well-being.
Based on your intake, your yoga therapist tailors sessions to meet your needs. These may include movement, restorative poses, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, sounds and touch, breathing practices, meditation, dietary suggestions, and yoga philosophy.
Follow-up appointments, lasting 60 minutes, help you tackle challenges, gain independence, and take an active role in self-care. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing illness, combating anxiety or depression, coping with stress, or navigating life transitions, yoga therapy empowers you to implement change and enhance your well-being.

Complimentary Wellness Therapies:
AYURVEDA
Yoga and Ayurveda, originating from ancient India, are sister sciences that synergistically complement each other. They share a common objective of fostering holistic well-being and harmony across body, mind, and spirit. When integrated, these disciplines offer a comprehensive approach to wellness. Yoga contributes to physical health and mental well-being, while Ayurveda offers dietary and lifestyle recommendations to enrich your yoga practice and align with overall health objectives. An Ayurvedic consultation includes:
- Conducting detailed consultations to assess each client’s unique constitution (Prakriti), current imbalances (Vikriti), and overall health status. These consultations encompass inquiries into lifestyle, diet, medical history, and physical examinations.
- Providing personalized recommendations tailored to the individual’s needs, which may include dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, detoxification practices, and stress management techniques.
- Educating clients on fundamental Ayurvedic principles such as the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the significance of maintaining balance, and how imbalances can lead to disease. This empowers clients to actively participate in their own health journey.
- Offering ongoing support and guidance to assist clients in implementing recommended changes effectively. This involves regular follow-up sessions to monitor progress, address challenges, and make necessary adjustments.
- Emphasizing preventive care to maintain health and prevent future imbalances, which may include seasonal routines, daily self-care practices (dinacharya), and mindfulness techniques.
REIKI
Originating in Japan,Reiki is an energy healing modality based on revitalizing the “life force energy” that sustains us. By addressing low or obstructed life force energy, Reiki helps mitigate illness and stress while promoting happiness and health. Key points regarding Reiki include:
- Treatment encompasses the whole person—body, emotions, mind, and spirit—yielding numerous beneficial effects such as relaxation, greater grounding and balance, and overall well-being.
- Reiki works harmoniously with other medical or therapeutic techniques to alleviate side effects and support recovery.
- Administered primarily through the hands with a light touch or held above the body (fully clothed and avoiding private or sensitive areas), Reiki is most frequently experienced as a gentle, relaxing energy flow, fostering a state of deep relaxation. At other times it can feel powerfully cleansing or activating.
- Reiki is non-religious and devoid of dogma, serving as a complement to various spiritual and wellness practices, including yoga.
