What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is a personalized, holistic approach to healing that blends the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern science. It's designed to help you manage stress, release physical tension, and reconnect with your body in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.​
​
Rather than following a set routine, each session is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and emotional or physical challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, dealing with chronic tension or pain, or simply longing to feel more grounded and calm—yoga therapy can meet you where you are.
"Yoga therapy is a holistic healing art. Rather than prescribe treatments, it invites presence and awareness. Using age-old yogic approaches to deeper presence and awareness, we are able to know ourselves more fully. Out of that knowing, we are more easily moved to embrace the opportunity for change, growth, and enhanced well-being in body, feelings, thought, and spirit."

Your Yoga Therapy Session
As a yoga therapist, I draw from a variety of tools to support your body, mind, and overall well-being, including:
-
Gentle movement and postures (asanas) to build awareness, improve alignment, relieve tension, and support the structure and strength of your body
-
Breathwork (pranayama) to cultivate calm, increase energy, and promote focus
-
Guided meditation and visualization to reconnect with inner stillness and clarity
-
Yoga nidra (deep guided relaxation) and restorative poses to support deep rest, recovery, and balance in the nervous system
-
Strengthening and balance-focused exercises to support mobility, stability, and overall resilience
​
We may also explore postural alignment, lifestyle adjustments, and simple daily practices to help you carry the benefits of each session into your everyday life.
"Pascale is such a warm hearted and empathetic yoga instructor. She is in tune with the needs of her students. Pascale is able to push people while respecting their limits and offering alternative poses when needed. I have always enjoyed her classes and the way she takes the time to get to know her students. Her love for what she does is inspiring and keeps me coming back for more of her yoga classes!"
