Online Therapeutic Yoga with Marilyn 

All Skill Levels (Ages 16+ Adult)
Curious about the difference between yoga and yoga therapy?  Both a yoga class and yoga therapy session are valid and valuable, but they are different. A yoga class focuses on the techniques or yoga practice. When clients see a yoga therapist or a therapeutic group, it’s usually not to learn about yoga but to get help with or relief from some symptom or health condition that is bothering them.  Yoga therapeutic methods are based on the principles of yoga, scientific data, and the experience of yoga teachers.  The client is the focus as well as how yoga techniques can help the client feel better or improve their function.  Clients can participate in one-on-one individualized sessions or in a group session where clients have similar conditions or a variety of conditions.  After an intake and assessment, the yoga therapist focuses on the client’s specific symptoms and identifies methods to help them manage those symptoms in subsequent sessions. The yoga therapist also empowers clients to take an active role in their self-care, to help them overcome challenges, and gain independence. No prior experience necessary.
