About Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy is the artful application of the tools of yoga (movement, breathwork, meditation, etc.) to address the specific needs of an individual. It is a holistic healing modality that considers the student's entire constitution: while symptoms may arise in a specific location, their impacts affect the whole system.

Together we work together to address symptoms that cause suffering and move toward improved health and wellbeing. The efficacy of Yoga Therapy is supported by an increasing body of research evidence.

I work virtually and in-person at a studio in downtown Toronto (Bloor and Crawford).

Everyone can benefit from a daily yoga practice tailored to their specific needs. People typically seek out therapeutic yoga for relief from symptoms associated with:

• Stress, sleep, and anxiety concerns
• Physical injury recovery
• Chronic pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, low back pain, etc.)
• Illness support (cancer, diabetes, long COVID, etc.)
• Times of transition (menopause, pregnancy, grief, etc.)

One-on-one instruction allows for a deeper understanding of who you are to plan specifically for your needs. A personalized home practice may include:

• Conscious and mindful breathing
• Appropriately sequenced and individualized physical movements
• Meditative practices, visualization, sound, and mantra
• Guided relaxation and Yoga Nidra
• Diet and lifestyle recommendations (if desired)

Unlike group yoga classes that prioritize physical postures, Yoga Therapy meets the individual where they are. You never need to worry about being “well” enough to participate.

Yoga Therapy is taught as a complementary system of health, working in conjunction with your normal medical treatments and the care of your doctor or medical professional.
