Yoga therapy meets people where they are, connecting them to their own innate healing potential.

Yoga therapy clients report experiencing improved mood, decreased stress and chronic pain, and more. Studies show that yoga has a profound capacity to affect the nervous system by improving our ability to self-regulate.  Methods in yoga therapy work with both the mind and the body.  Tools such as meditation are used to affect the state of the body, and movement and breathing techniques are used to change the state of the nervous system and affect thoughts and emotions.  The practice of yoga with guidance of a yoga therapist equips us with a comprehensive toolkit to help support regulation and resilience in the mind-body system.  Yoga therapy is the specific use of these tools by a trained practitioner.

  • “I am grateful for practicing with Beth in yoga therapy.  She has a strong knowledge base of using yoga as a therapeutic practice, honoring my life story and what aspects of yoga can support my healing journey.  She is helping me see how yoga can be a practice of healing physically and emotionally.   I had stepped away from yoga for a bit because of the issues I was experiencing but working with her in a nurturing manor in yoga therapy is reopening a way to see what is available and beneficial."

  • “Beth Major is an excellent yoga instructor. Her knowledge of the body helped me relax and be guided through some difficult restrictions and finally a knee replacement. She has always been so encouraging and helpful with adjustments to be made as I regained some of my mobility. I have seen her for private classes for many years and plan to continue meeting with her as I’m positive she will be able to help me continue to gain strength and flexibility.”
