The value
What this treatment changes for you.
Back & joints
Postures and breath sequenced to decompress, mobilise and stabilise — without aggravating existing patterns.
Anxiety & sleep
Pranayama techniques (nadi shodhana, bhramari, ujjayi) prescribed to your nervous system, not a generic playlist.
Perimenopause
Cooling, grounding sequences for vata-driven hot flushes, sleep disruption and restlessness.
Post-illness recovery
Gentle rebuilding for long-COVID, post-viral fatigue and convalescence — capacity grows safely.
Sustainable practice
A short home practice you can actually keep — built around your real schedule.
Doctor-led
Sequenced by an Ayurvedic doctor, so it integrates with your medications, treatments and constitution.

FAQ
Common questions.
How is yoga therapy different from a yoga class?+
It is prescribed, not performed. Postures, breath and pace are chosen from your pulse, dosha and the condition you are working with — not from a class plan.
What conditions does it help?+
Back pain, anxiety, insomnia, perimenopausal symptoms, post-injury rehabilitation, hypertension, post-illness recovery and burnout.
Do I need to be flexible?+
No. Therapeutic yoga meets you where you are — chair-based and restorative options are part of the toolkit.
How many sessions?+
A typical course is 4–6 sessions, with a home practice you can sustain in 15–25 minutes a day.
Can I combine it with treatments?+
Yes — most guests pair yoga therapy with abhyanga, Shirodhara or Marma for compounding nervous-system effects.
