What is Yoga Therapy
The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) defines Yoga Therapy as “the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices for individuals or small groups.”
Yoga therapy is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that combines traditional yogic practices with modern therapeutic techniques. It is an integrative approach that aims to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

What to expect in a Yoga Therapy Session
Pre-appointment assessment: Prior to the first appointment, you will receive a personal history from that is aimed at getting you to start thinking about your habits, routines, concerns, and goals.
-
Initial assessment: During the first appointment (typically lasts between 60-90 minutes), the yoga therapist will begin with a review of the personal history form. The form is designed according to the model of the koshas, —physically, energetically, emotionally, in the wisdom body, in the bliss body—not just the pain or other issue . The yoga therapist will ask additional questions regarding daily routines, perform an assessment (i.e. observing you walk, sit, breathe, asking specifics about areas of pain in the body), and clarify a simple goal(s). Based on the session, the yoga therapist will likely have small changes/techniques to try out together and ask you to practice these things until the next session.
-
Follow-up session. The first follow-up session, and any subsequent appointments will last 60 minutes. During the follow-up appointment, you and the yoga therapist will discuss how the small assignment(s) went (any notes, likes, dislikes, etc). The yoga therapist will also practice additional ideas (physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation options) with you based on your goals
