MEDHYA YOGA & WELLNESS

What is Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is an individualized therapeutic approach designed to support healing and recovery from specific health conditions and diseases. It is a powerful adjunct to medical systems which uses tailored yoga practices—movement, breathwork, and meditation—within a personalized plan to address chronic or acute physical, physiological, psychological, or emotional imbalances. Together with lifestyle guidance, we focus on restoring harmony and enhancing the mind-body connection.

Furthering Your Practice, Exploring, Gaining Insight: Yoga therapy may also be beneficial if you are interested in furthering your yoga practice beyond the physical aspect, exploring yourself on a deeper level and looking to gain more insight and awareness into your habits and patterns as a means to improve your overall health and well-being.

How is yoga therapy different than a yoga class or private yoga session?

In a standard yoga class, participants engage in a sequence of postures and breathing exercises designed for the group as a whole. Yoga therapy goes deeper, providing a fully individualized experience with the purpose of supporting healing—whether addressing chronic or acute conditions. Through yoga-based techniques designed for body-mind-soul and lifestyle management, a therapy program aims to restore balance, foster a deeper self connection, and promote holistic health and wellness.
