What happens in a Yoga Therapy Session?

There are currently almost 6,000 Certified Yoga Therapists around the world working in a variety of specializations. Yoga Therapy is the professional application of the techniques of yoga to bring about wellness, healing, or self-development. Yoga Therapists are specially trained in working with individuals 1:1 or in specialized small group settings to meet their specific needs. Many yoga therapists are in private practice, while others are working in hospitals, doctor offices, and wellness centers. Other Yoga Therapists work in education, teaching other healthcare professionals how to integrate the tools of yoga into their own profession for better patient outcomes & a more holistic approach to healing.

There is a growing need for Yoga Therapists to address the areas that modern healthcare is lacking. This includes the application of lifestyle changes, preventative wellness, adopting healthy habits, stress management, self-regulation, self-understanding, and creating custom yoga practices that address health concerns.
