Yoga therapy is a personalized, therapeutic process – one that uses the full tools of yoga to support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is not a yoga class, and it is not a medical treatment. It is something most people have never been offered before: a collaborative process that works with the whole person, over time.

I became a certified yoga therapist because I kept seeing the same gap – between the care people need and the care they actually receive.

Many clients come here after trying everything else: physical therapy, doctor visits, medications, fitness programs. They’ve done the right things. And they still feel fragmented, or unheard, or like they’re managing rather than healing. Yoga therapy offers something different – time, attention, context, and integration. Space to understand patterns, not just symptoms.

You may be quietly carrying questions that don’t have clear answers. Why does this pain keep returning? Why hasn’t physical therapy fully resolved it? Is this just part of getting older, or is there something I can do? Perhaps menopause has shifted your body in ways you didn’t expect. Perhaps anxiety shows up physically. Perhaps you’ve been told everything looks normal, yet you don’t feel normal.

Dominant Westernized yoga culture often prioritizes aesthetics, intensity, and performance – leaving many people feeling that yoga isn’t for them. At the same time, Western medicine is constrained by time limits and restrictive insurance models that rarely allow for holistic care. People are left managing complex experiences – pain, stress, hormonal changes, trauma, aging – without enough support.

Yoga therapy exists to fill that gap.

You don’t want to be coddled. You don’t want to be told, “Well, that’s just aging.” And you don’t want to pretend you’re still 40.

You want to stay capable and independent as long as possible. You want to walk your dog without worrying about your knee or ankle. You want to hike with your friends and not be the one who has to turn back. You want to feel steady in a doctor’s office instead of rushed or dismissed. You want to trust your body again.

Yoga therapy supports real, lived outcomes:

• Less pain – and more confidence using your body in daily life

• Strength and balance that make stairs, travel, and uneven terrain feel manageable

• A clearer understanding of what’s happening in your body – so you’re not guessing

• Tools you can use at home when symptoms flare, instead of feeling helpless

• The ability to stay calm during difficult conversations instead of spiraling

• The steadiness to navigate menopause, aging, or illness without losing yourself

You may still miss the body you had twenty years ago. That’s human. This work is about building strength, clarity, and capability in the body you have now.

Progress often begins subtly – a little less stiffness in the morning, a little more ease getting off the floor, a calmer response during stress. Over time, those shifts compound. They protect independence and change how you move through your life.

Is Yoga Therapy Right for You?

Yoga therapy tends to be a good fit for people who are navigating a specific physical, emotional, or life challenge – and who want a holistic, individualized approach that goes beyond symptom management. People who do well here value depth and nuance, are willing to collaborate and participate between sessions, and are looking for tools they can integrate into daily life rather than a passive treatment or quick fix.

If you’re primarily looking for an exercise-based yoga practice, Private Yoga may be a better starting point – and you’re always welcome to move between offerings as your needs evolve.

My Approach

My approach to yoga therapy is deeply personalized and collaborative. I completed the Essential Yoga Therapy program with Robin Rothenberg – an intensive 1,300+ hour course of study over more than three years – along with advanced study in anatomy, physiology, breathwork, psychology, and nervous system regulation. I bring that depth of education, along with thousands of hours of teaching experience, into every session.

We work slowly and intentionally, adapting practices as needed and honoring the complexity of your life. Yoga therapy is not about perfection – it is about participation, discernment, and highly individualized care over time.

This is not a protocol or a passive treatment. It is education, relationship, and skill-building combined. We do not chase symptoms. We look for leverage points.

Many clients arrive here after feeling rushed or fragmented in other systems – 15-minute medical appointments, exercise programs that ignore context, care models that treat parts instead of people. Here, we take the time to understand the whole picture.

Meaningful change requires dedication. If you engage fully and practice between sessions, progress builds. It often begins subtly – a one-degree shift in pain, strength, balance, or perspective – but those shifts compound over time.

My role is not to fix you. It is to offer informed guidance, steady presence, and a space where you can maintain strength, stability, and independence for the long haul.
