WHAT IS YOGA THERAPY

What is Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is personalized and science-backed holistic approach to healing that integrates movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unlike traditional yoga classes, which are often generalized for a group, yoga therapy is designed to address specific health concerns and meet you exactly where you are.

At LJH Yoga, we specialize in:

  • Helping you manage stress and anxiety through calming practices.

  • Supporting physical health with therapeutic movement.

  • Empowering you to find balance and ease in your everyday life.

How Yoga Therapy Can Benefit

Yoga therapy is more than just movement—it’s a pathway to feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected to yourself. Whether you’re dealing with stress, physical discomfort, or the challenges of life’s transitions, yoga therapy provides practical tools to help you navigate them with greater ease.

At LJH Yoga, our approach is rooted in compassion and science, helping you:

  • Manage stress and anxiety – Learn calming breathwork and mindfulness practices that soothe the nervous system.

  • Support physical health – Use therapeutic movement to build strength, flexibility, and balance.

  • Restore energy and vitality – Feel lighter, more grounded, and at ease in your daily life.

  • Reconnect with yourself – Develop a sense of agency, confidence, and emotional resilience.

No matter where you’re starting from, yoga therapy meets you exactly where you are. Through gentle, intentional practices, you’ll cultivate a sense of balance, strength, and empowerment—one breath, one movement at a time.
