What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga Therapy is therapeutic yoga for transforming musculoskeletal pain, emotional and physical symptoms of autoimmune disease, injury rehabilitation, and the modern-day afflictions of anxiety, insomnia, addiction and depression.

Yoga Therapy is also an excellent preventative medicine. It reduces stress and increases mindfulness, strength, flexibility, physical and emotional resilience.

Sessions with Simone last about an hour and often incorporate adapted asanas (poses), pranayama (breath), props like blankets, bolsters, blocks and straps, and meditation. Ayurvedic counseling (food, herbs and lifestyle as medicine) may be included. Depending on client needs, yoga therapy is in the client’s home or in the Santa Monica wellness studio. It is typical to complete a yoga therapy session experiencing balance, bliss and a feeling of well-being.
