What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is a type of practice that integrates asanas, breath work, and meditation to help relieve mental and physical ailments. Yoga therapy differs from regular yoga classes, in that it is generally taught 1-on-1 with a licensed yoga therapist. As opposed to practicing yoga merely for exercise, or to increase flexibility, yoga therapy also addresses symptoms, and works to improve the health of the practitioner in both mind and body.


A typical yoga therapy session can vary depending on the therapist and your personal goals. Your yoga therapist will consult with you on your individual needs and abilities, and make adjustments accordingly. Yoga therapy can be immensely effective in treating chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, eating disorders, and help patients recover from illness or surgery. Here are a few more things you should know about yoga therapy.

  • Beginner to advanced yogis
