Yoga that meets your body where it is.
Yoga therapy applies yoga's principles to health in a personalized way, rooted in a health-creating model, not a “fix-it” one.
How it helps
Through breathing, movement, and self-inquiry practices, yoga therapy addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual dimensions of pain. Research supports real improvements in pain, disability, mood, and quality of life, and a pain-informed instructor will never push you through a movement that isn't safe for your body that day.
How to find one
Look for someone trained specifically in pain-informed yoga, through directories like Pain Care Aware (paincareaware.com), Pain Care U (paincareu.com), or the International Association of Yoga Therapists (iayt.org).
