Consider these statements…
”Pain is changeable”
”There is hope for recovery”
“Thank you so much! This is the first yoga class I was able to do all the way through because of my chronic pain. It felt so good to move!”

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is an individualized practice with the specific needs of the client in mind. It approaches this work from a biopsychosocial model meeting the physical, mental and emotional needs of the client. It is important for anyone who is looking for guidance and a plan for health and well being. It is accessible to anyone, even (and especially) those struggling with chronic pain.

Come as you are.
Yoga Therapy is the opportunity to practice yoga no matter your situation in life. Yoga is a gift that can be accessible to anyone and everyone. It is about the importance of gaining the knowledge to access the tools needed to create ease of movement, calming of the body and mind, and possibly even alleviate the pain in life, physical and/or emotional. This is a very powerful and empowering thing if we can be gently guided in a way that allows us to find the strength within ourselves to create a life we've dreamed of. There is true freedom in that!
My goal is to help you find this. It exists in all of us... sometimes it's just hard to see or acknowledge on our own.
Yoga for Chronic Pain
Yoga is a holistic, evidence based, non pharmacological approach to health and healing that allows for greater ease of movement and a sense of compassion and discernment for each individuals’ wellbeing.
