What Is Therapeutic Yoga?
Therapeutic yoga blends the wisdom of yoga with modern psychology and functional movement.
Our approach goes beyond traditional poses — it supports your body and nervous system in ways that feel grounding, sustainable, and realistic for everyday life.
Using mindful movement, breathwork, and nervous system regulation techniques, we help you:
→ release tension and move with less pain
→ develop supportive strength
→ regulate anxiety and overwhelm
→ reconnect with your body after stress, burnout, or birth
→ build habits that fit your real life, not add to your to-do list
Therapeutic yoga is gentle, accessible, and tailored to women at all stages of life.
Why Choose Private Therapeutic Yoga?
Private sessions offer individualized support grounded in trauma-aware care, mental health training, and clinical insight.
