What to Expect
The yoga therapy process begins with an initial consultation, typically 90 mins, which may include an intake questionnaire, assessment of breathing, posture, and range of motion. Your yoga therapist will use a range of techniques based on your needs and preferences including: yoga postures, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, somatics, postural alignment, ayurveda, lifestyle consultation and stress management techniques.
The result is a do-it-yourself program (approx 20 mins) that you can practice daily at home. You are welcome to record the session so you can reference it.
