Injury Recovery
Injury Recovery
Welcome! We are so glad you’re here. Our studio and teachers offer a welcoming, safe, and accessible experience for all. We offer a variety of classes that provide adaptions during the process of injury recovery to help you accomplish your healing goals. We recommend the classes listed on this page to guide you with your recovery process.
If you are seeking more customized care, we recommend setting up a Yoga Therapy Consultation. Yoga Therapy helps to foster recovery, health and well-being through simple, effective and adaptive physical movements, breathing and relaxation techniques. These techniques serve people who wish to be more involved in their own healing process and oversee aspects of their own health and wellness.
Yoga Therapy can be offered individually or in a group setting. Learn more about our Yoga Therapy program here.
