Yoga therapy is a one-on-one practice designed specifically for you. Unlike a group class, which is built around a general population, yoga therapy uses the tools of yoga including posture, breathwork, attention practices, and nervous system regulation, to address your specific patterns, history, and goals. It draws on clinical assessment alongside traditional yoga training to work with what is actually happening in your body and nervous system, not a generalized version of it.

Yoga therapy works with a wide range of concerns including chronic stress, anxiety, pain, fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, perimenopause, sleep disruption, and the physical and emotional patterns that accumulate over years of high-demand living. It is not a replacement for medical care. It works in the space between what a clinical appointment can address and what a group class can reach.

Yes. Sharon's background as a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant and Certified Yoga Therapist means she brings clinical understanding of the body directly into this work. Yoga therapy can address chronic pain, back pain, postural patterns, muscle imbalances, and recovery from injury, looking at not just the site of the pain but the movement patterns and compensations that often drive it.

Physical therapy typically works within a specific diagnosis and a defined treatment window. Yoga therapy looks at the broader pattern. How you move, breathe, compensate, and hold tension across your whole body and works to address the underlying tendencies, not just the symptom. For many people it picks up where physical therapy left off, or fills the gap between discharge and feeling fully functional again.

This is one of the most common reasons people seek out yoga therapy. Injuries that linger often do so because the movement patterns that contributed to them are still present. Yoga therapy looks at the full picture, strength, mobility, breath, compensation patterns, nervous system tone and works systematically to address what's actually keeping you stuck.

Sessions are 60 minutes. What happens in them depends entirely on where you are. Some sessions are movement-based, assessing how you're moving, breathing, and compensating, then working through practices tailored to what your body needs that day. Others involve more conversation, tracing the patterns that show up in the body back to where they started. Most sessions are some combination of both. You'll leave with specific practices to work with between sessions, and the work adjusts as you progress.

Most clients begin with an initial consultation followed by three follow-up sessions. This gives enough time to assess, begin working with your patterns, and start seeing real integration. From there, many clients transition into the Therapeutic Membership, which provides one yoga therapy session per month alongside unlimited access to the regular class schedule.

No prior yoga experience is necessary. Yoga therapy meets you exactly where you are. The practices used in sessions are selected based on your specific needs and capacity not on how flexible you are or how long you've been practicing. Many clients come to yoga therapy having never attended a yoga class.

Somatic movement can be powerful work. It can also move things to the surface quickly - emotions, memories, nervous system responses - that require skill and clinical judgment to work with safely. Yoga therapy doesn't skip that step. Before any somatic exploration happens, there is careful assessment of what your nervous system can actually tolerate, how you regulate, and what kind of support you need. The work is paced deliberately. You won't be guided to open something up and then left to manage it on your own.
