Yoga therapy is a tailored practice using the tools of yoga: physical postures, breath-work, meditation, and philosophy to address an individual’s needs from a biopsychosocial and spiritual perspective. In combination with other medical modalities, yoga therapy offers
space for healing through the lens of self-awareness, self-care, and self-efficacy to support quality of life and overall well-being.
Each session begins with a conversation. In the first session, you'll share your past medical history, current health concerns, and overall intention for therapy. Confidentiality is always maintained. Based on this information, Laura will conduct postural and breath assessments, followed by a safe, therapeutic sequence of postures, breath-work and meditation. This initial exchange sets in motion the ongoing plan of care.
After each session, a take-home plan is recommended. Homework is personalized, so it fits into your schedule. As the sessions continue, the plan will adapt to meet you where you are. Yoga therapy is most effective when the practices are done routinely. Your engagement in the work is key and Laura is here to guide you along the way.
