Yoga therapists have in-depth training beyond yoga teacher training to assess and address clients’ specific goals while considering any presenting limitations to keep the clients safe. Yoga therapy can be complementary to any other healing and wellness practices.

Yoga therapy is a salutogenic model for well-being. Salutogenesis focuses on the origins of health and well-being rather than on pathogenesis, the origins of disease. Yoga therapy provides a fully customized, holistic, bioregulatory and salutogenic toolkit to restore coherence, alignment, and harmony to each unique human experience.
