Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yoga therapy is a one-to-one, goal-focused approach that uses yoga tools (breath practices, movement, relaxation, meditation, and simple lifestyle supports) in a way that is tailored to your needs.
    A yoga class is usually one sequence taught to a group. In yoga therapy, the practices are selected and paced based on what’s happening in your body and life—often with a short home practice to support steady change between sessions.

  • No. Yoga therapy is a complementary practice that can support your wellbeing alongside medical care, but it isn’t a replacement for diagnosis or treatment. If you’re under medical care, yoga therapy can often work well as an additional support—always within your scope of care and comfort.

  • Not at all. Yoga therapy is designed for real bodies and real life. Practices can be done standing, seated, or lying down, and they’re always adapted to your comfort level, mobility, and any health considerations.

  • It depends on your goals and what you’re working with, but many people start with 4 sessions to build a foundation and a home practice. Some come for a shorter reset, and others continue monthly for ongoing support and refinements. We can decide together after the first session what pace makes sense.

  • Yes. Most people leave each session with a simple home practice—often 5–15 minutes—that fits your goals and your schedule. The plan is meant to be doable, not overwhelming, and it can be adjusted over time as your needs change.

  • Yoga therapy is typically not covered by insurance, and I do not bill insurance directly. If you have an HSA/FSA, you may be able to use those funds depending on your plan. If helpful, I can provide a receipt for your records.

  • Sessions are available online and in person. For online sessions, all you need is:

    • a stable internet connection

    • a phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera

    • a little space to move

    • any props you already have (a chair, pillows, or a folded blanket work beautifully)

  • That’s very common—and it’s one reason people choose yoga therapy. Practices are always paced and adapted for your body, and options can be done seated, standing, or lying down. If something increases pain or doesn’t feel right, we modify it. Yoga therapy is intended to be supportive alongside medical care, and referrals are encouraged when needed.
