Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic yoga, or yoga therapy, is a personalized, collaborative approach that uses the practices of yoga to support your health and well-being. Each session is shaped around your individual needs, goals, health history, abilities, and current circumstances.
Your session may include accessible therapeutic movement, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, guided relaxation, coaching, and practical lifestyle support. Practices are evidence-based, and thoughtfully adapted so they are portable, comfortable, realistic, and sustainable. No previous yoga experience or level of flexibility is required.
Yoga therapy may offer support for:
Perimenopause and menopause
Stress, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
Chronic pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia
Grief, loss, and major life transitions
Cancer care and the side effects of chemotherapy
Fatigue, sleep difficulties, and changing energy
Balance, flexibility, functional movement, and strength
A desire for the development of an individualized yoga practice
What to Expect
Your first session begins with conversation. We will discuss what brings you to yoga therapy and what you are hoping to improve in your life, whether that’s physical, emotional, spiritual or something else. We begin with a few minutes of grounding and arriving in the body, then together, we will explore supportive practices and begin creating a personalized plan that can be adjusted as your needs change.
Your session is always yours; you are always welcome to rest, pause, and share what you are feeling in your body. You will never be expected to force a pose, keep up, or work through discomfort. Sessions are offered in a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment, with options and supportive props provided whenever helpful.
One-hour sessions are available in person at Gentle Ground Yoga & Wellness in Mentor, Ohio, and online from the comfort of your own space via Zoom.
Yoga therapy is intended to complement—not replace—medical or mental health care. When appropriate, clients are encouraged to work with their health-care professionals as part of an integrated approach to well-being.
