Yoga Therapy + Ayurveda
Personalized support to help you feel more balanced, grounded, and connected in your everyday life.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is a personalized approach to overall well-being that uses the tools of yoga and Ayurveda to support the whole person - body, mind, and spirit.
Unlike a general yoga class, yoga therapy is created around YOU. Your life, your body, your experiences, your energy, your goals, and the season of life you are moving through.
Yoga Therapy includes the practices of breath, movement, meditation, rest, reflection, and Ayurveda to help you feel more balanced and connected to your everyday life.
At the Shala on 120, yoga therapy is held with gentleness, presence, and respect for your lived experience. The practice is not one-size-fits-all. It is a collaborative process rooted in the wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda. It is shaped by what feels supportive, accessible, and honest for you.

What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is an ancient system of health that has been guiding people toward balance and well-being for thousands of years. Often translated as “the science of life,” Ayurveda offers a timeless approach to understanding ourselves and caring for our health in a way that is both deeply personal and connected to the rhythms of nature.
At its heart, Ayurveda recognizes that each of us is wonderfully unique. Because of that, there is no single diet, routine, or path to wellness that is right for everyone.
To me, Ayurveda is an invitation to slow down and become curious.
It encourages us to notice how we feel, how we digest our food, how we sleep, how we respond to stress, how the seasons influence us, and how our daily habits shape our overall well-being. Rather than asking, “What worked for someone else?” Ayurveda gently asks, “What does my body need today?”
As an Ayurvedic Care-Seeker, we’ll take time to explore your unique story. Together, we’ll look at your health history, digestion, sleep, energy, stress, daily rhythms, relationships, and lifestyle patterns. From there, we’ll begin to recognize what is supporting your well-being and where imbalance may be asking for your attention.
From this understanding, we create simple, personalized recommendations that fit your life. This may include guidance around food, daily routines, seasonal living, breathwork, movement, rest, self-care practices, and other lifestyle habits that help bring greater balance and ease into your everyday life.
Ayurveda isn’t about perfection, restriction, or trying to become someone else. It is about learning to understand yourself more deeply, honoring your individuality, and making small, meaningful changes that support lasting health.
My role is not to fix you. I believe your body holds incredible wisdom. My role is to walk alongside you, offering education, guidance, and compassionate support as you learn to reconnect with that wisdom and cultivate a life that feels more balanced, resilient, and aligned with who you are.

What to Expect
Yoga Therapy begins with listening: Before we create a practice, we make space for your story, your needs, your goals, and what feels supportive in your body and life right now. Your sessions may look different from a traditional yoga class. You may move very gently, practice breath awareness, explore meditation, rest deeply, reflect, or learn simple tools you can use at home. The practice is shaped around what is accessible and meaningful for you. Some sessions may focus on calming the nervous system. Others may support mobility, pain, grief, energy, sleep, stress, or reconnecting with your body in a kind and compassionate way. You will never be asked to force, perform, or push past what feels honest. Yoga therapy is a collaborative process. We work together, adjust as needed, and honor the pace of your body, breath, mind, and heart. You may leave with a short home practice, a breath technique, a reflection prompt, or a small daily rhythm to support what we are working with between sessions. This is not about doing more. It is about learning what supports you, what steadies you, and what helps you feel more at home within yourself.
The Process
1. Begin with a curiosity call: We start with a brief conversation to see what you are looking for and whether yoga therapy feels like the right fit. 2. Complete an intake: You will share more about your body, health history, stress patterns, lifestyle, goals, and what you are hoping to support. 3. Meet for a personalized session: Together, we explore practices that may include gentle movement, breath work, meditation, rest, reflection, and nervous system support. 4. Receive a simple home practice: You may be given a short practice or supportive rhythm to use between sessions. This is designed to feel doable, not overwhelming. 5. Continue and refine: As your needs change, your practice changes. We continue to listen, adjust, and build practices that support your real life.
Questions You May Have
Q: Is Yoga Therapy the same as counseling or physical therapy? A: No. Yoga Therapy is not a replacement for medical care, counseling, physical therapy, or mental health treatment. It can work beautifully alongside those supports. Yoga therapy offers body-based and breath-based tools to help you regulate, reconnect, and build a supportive rhythm in your life. Q: What if I am grieving, anxious, or overwhelmed? A: You are welcome exactly where you are. Yoga Therapy does not ask you to fix yourself, force positivity, or push through. It creates a steady space to breathe, feel supported, and slowly build tools that help you feel more grounded in your body and your life. Q: How many sessions do I need? A: That depends on your needs and goals. Some people come for a few sessions to receive tools and support. Others benefit from working together over several weeks so the practices can grow with them. We will keep it simple, realistic, and supportive. Q: What will I leave with after my Yoga Therapy session? A: You will leave with simple tools you can use in real life. That may be a short breath practice, grounding routine, gentle movement sequence, meditation, rest practice, journal prompts, or small lifestyle shifts to support your overall well-being. The goal is for you to leave feeling supported, not overwhelmed. Q: How do I know if yoga therapy is right for me? A: Yoga Therapy may be a good fit if you are looking for a gentle, holistic way to support your body, mind, and life. You do not have to know exactly what you need before beginning. We start with a conversation and build from there.
