FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: I have never practiced yoga before, can I try yoga therapy?
A: Yes! There is no previous yoga experience necessary to utilize yoga therapy as a treatment for your health condition. In fact, yoga therapy is very different than attending a typical yoga class, because yoga therapy is a highly individualized approach to healing specific health disorders, using specific yoga practices that can best treat your health disorder. A Yoga Therapist will teach you practices to help with your condition, and work with you through your healing process step-by-step.

Q: What happens at a yoga therapy session?
A: Yoga Therapy sessions are done in a private setting. A Yoga Therapist performs a thorough health intake in order to get to know you and your concerns, and then will decide on a therapeutic course of action and begin the process of teaching you practices to help heal your condition. You will learn practices to work on at home, and have follow up appointments to continue your learning, reevaluate, and make sure your symptoms of suffering are reducing.

Q: What makes a Yoga Therapist different than a Yoga Teacher?
A: A Yoga Therapist is trained to work with the system of yoga to treat specific health conditions, whereas a yoga teacher is trained to guide students through yoga classes in a general way. Yoga Therapists and Yoga Teachers go have very different trainings and certification requirements. A Yoga Therapist is extensively trained in specific yoga practices and techniques that directly treat specific health conditions and is highly educated in assessment skills and foundational biomedical and psychological knowledge. A Yoga Therapist “prescribes” to a person specific yoga practices and techniques to directly treat the person’s specific health condition. A Yoga Therapist’s goal is to help the individual to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of suffering they are experiencing, and/or cure and prevent the disorder.
