Yoga therapy is one-to-one support tailored entirely to your nervous system, history, and needs. Unlike a group yoga class, there is no set sequence and no need to keep pace with others. Sessions are shaped around what supports regulation, safety, and healing for you specifically.

In a group yoga class, the teacher guides everyone through the same sequence. In yoga therapy, the session is built around you. We pay attention to what your nervous system needs on that particular day, what practices support regulation and awareness for you, and what pace honours your capacity and history.

This makes yoga therapy particularly supportive for people working with anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, or nervous system overwhelm — where a generalised class may not feel safe, appropriate, or effective.

Private yoga therapy offers the most individualised support and works well for people navigating something tender or complex. Classes suit those who want steady, ongoing practice in a shared space. Workshops offer a focused entry point. A free consultation can help clarify which fits best.

Choose private yoga therapy if you want support shaped closely around your nervous system, your history, and your specific experience of anxiety, trauma, grief, or overwhelm.

Choose classes if you want a gentle, regular practice in a shared space that builds nervous system regulation and embodied awareness over time.

Choose workshops if you want to explore a particular theme — such as breath, rest, or regulation — in a focused, contained format.

If you are unsure, a free consultation gives you space to ask questions and work out where to begin.

No experience is needed. Private yoga therapy and classes are accessible regardless of your background or physical ability. Sessions begin with what is here, at a pace that honours your body and capacity. You do not need to be flexible, experienced, or ready to do anything intense.

This work is not about perfecting yoga posture or fitness. It is about learning to listen inward — to body, breath, feeling, and thought — in ways that build regulation, awareness, and connection over time. People come with no yoga background at all, and that is entirely fine. We begin gently, wherever you are.

This work supports people living with anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, chronic stress, and nervous system overwhelm. It is also helpful for those who feel disconnected from their bodies, stuck despite other support, or seeking a more embodied approach to healing and nervous system regulation.

Many people arrive here after trying talk therapy, medication, or other forms of support that have helped in some ways but left something still feeling stuck. What they are often looking for is a different relationship with their body and nervous system — not more insight, but more capacity.

This work supports that shift through body-based practices including breathwork, embodied movement, restorative practice, and yoga nidra for nervous system regulation — each shaped around your nervous system and what it needs.

Yes. Private yoga therapy sessions. group classes and workshops are available online. In-person sessions and classes are available in London, Ontario. Online sessions are equally effective for nervous system regulation and embodied awareness work and follow exactly the same approach as in-person support.

Whether you choose to work online or in person, the approach is the same. Many people find that working from home supports the kind of calm, attentive environment this work benefits from.

If you are local to London, Ontario, in-person sessions and group classes are also available. Please feel free to ask about current scheduling and formats during your consultation.

This varies depending on what you are working with and what kind of support you are seeking. Many people find that regular sessions over several months build meaningful nervous system regulation and capacity. We discuss structure and pace during the free consultation so you can begin with clarity.

There is no standard number of sessions but most people come for at least 6-sessions. Some people come for a contained period of focused support. Others choose to work over a longer arc, building practices and awareness gradually over time. We talk about what makes sense for you during the consultation, and revisit that as the work unfolds.

Yoga therapy is not typically covered by standard health insurance in Canada, though some extended health plans include coverage for complementary or alternative care.

Some injury claim insurance (such as motor vehicle accidents) will cover yoga therapy if you are working with a certified yoga therapist. Check directly with your provider. Documentation can be provided to support any reimbursement claims you choose to make.

A free consultation is a 20–30 minute conversation where you share what brings you here, ask questions, and get a sense of whether this work feels like a good fit. There is no pressure or obligation — just a chance to connect and explore before committing to anything.

Yoga therapy is not a replacement for mental health care. It can be a powerful complement. If you’re currently working with a therapist, many people find this supports that work.

Overall, the evidence supports yoga, guided meditation and breath-based practices as helpful, low-risk complements for many people living with anxiety, stress, and trauma symptoms.

Here is a sample of some of the research supporting yoga (and related practices) for anxiety and trauma

The tools in this series are evidence-informed and commonly used as supportive complements for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms. Research quality varies by study, population, and protocol—so we avoid “miracle claims” and focus on approaches that are low-risk, choice-based, and adaptable.

Yes—everything is offered with modifications and you can practice seated or resting.

It is valuable for me to understand any limitations you have before the class series. I will connect with everyone before the class to check-in.
