About the Program

Yoga Therapy is an individualized or small group approach to deal with a particular ailment or medical condition.

Sessions are focused on the client’s/small group goals and practices include techniques to specifically benefit each individual to improve function and feel better.

Yoga classes will focus on guiding students through yoga methods and practices. The teacher can base the class on different ability levels or on a general theme. The teachers show the students how to practice in an appropriate way.
