Yoga therapy is an individualized, integrative, client-centered approach to healing and well-being. It meets people where they are to address specific physical, emotional, or mental health challenges. In yoga therapy, well-being is nurtured through individually tailored practices including breathwork, mindful movement, meditation, and lifestyle guidance designed to support the body’s natural healing processes and improve overall functioning.
