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.
