A Yoga Therapy initial consultation (session) is a 90 to 120-minute process of discovery. The Yoga Therapist will ask questions to assess your current state of health as well as determine needs and goals of your Yoga Therapy plan. Suggestions for further practice will also be given.

What you hope to seek with Yoga Therapy can often be seen in many aspects of our health and overall wellness. The initial intake will include a discussion about your personal health history as it related to what you hope to achieve with Yoga Therapy.
Your Yoga Therapist will discuss any relevant information you wish to share. While you will not be asked to share any information you do not want to, the more information your Yoga Therapist has on your overall health picture will allow them to create a practice and long-term plan for you that is both effective, accessible and enjoyable.
Your Yoga Therapist will create a customized practice of physical movements (asana), breath work (pranayama), and meditation in balance with your unique needs and goals. By guiding you in a practice designed specifically for you, your Yoga Therapist will help you discover your ideal yoga experience.
Whatever you are hoping to explore through Yoga Therapy, your Yoga Therapist will guide you to explore the many different facets of what a yoga practice can entail. Depending on your needs, goals, and experience, yoga can look different for everyone.With the help of your Yoga Therapist, you can find the yoga that works for you, and will keep working for you.
Your Yoga Therapist will provide you with a practice that you can take home and use in your normal day-to-day life. The ability to incorporate these practices into everyday living is essential to creating lasting benefits, and your Yoga Therapist can help you discover the best way to do that for you and your life.
The best way to get the most out of your Yoga Therapy is to return for follow-ups with your Yoga Therapist so that you can address your progress and evolution. While it may be possible to find one practice that works forever, many people find that after addressing one imbalance, another may appear. Working with your Yoga Therapist allows you the opportunity to watch your own practice evolve.
After your initial consultation, it is often recommended to return for follow-up sessions. A series of appointments allows time for clients to integrate their recommendations, explore new insights and observations, and delve deeper into creating a more solid and sustained balance. Lasting balance comes in stages, each of which requires new insights and shifts in direction. The Yoga Therapist may adjust and add to current recommendations or address new health concerns as they become a priority. Follow-up consultations are one half-hour to an hour in length.
