What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is a specialized, professional service that adapts the practices of yoga to the needs of people with specific health challenges. Unlike a general yoga class, these sessions are individualized and evidence-informed, focusing on your unique physical, emotional, and nervous system health within a warm and reassuring environment.
Nervous System Support
We utilize gentle movement and breathwork to regulate the nervous system, providing essential support for stress, anxiety, burnout, and recovery after motor vehicle accidents.
Whether you are seeking relief from a recent injury or navigating the complexities of long-term stress, my door is open to provide a compassionate path toward healing.
Holistic Recovery
By addressing chronic tension and trauma through a somatic lens, our sessions help adults in Winnipeg reclaim their physical comfort and emotional resilience.
How Yoga Therapy is Different
Inner North Yoga Therapy offers a specialized approach that diverges from general wellness sessions. Our practice is one-on-one, therapeutic in focus, and deeply evidence-informed to support your unique healing journey.
• Safety & Regulation: A focus on your nervous system rather than physical performance.
• Tailored Pacing: Slower movements and meaningful conversation focused on your life context.
• Bespoke Support: Every session is adapted to your body's specific needs and rhythms.

What to Expect in a Session
Your first session is a slow, gentle space designed for your comfort. There is no pressure to perform; we move at your pace, and your consent is at the heart of everything we do.
1. Arriving & Settling In
We begin by simply landing in the space. You’ll have a moment to settle, breathe, and feel grounded before we begin our time together.
3. Exploration of Practice
We explore very simple movement, breath, and rest practices at a slow pace, checking in frequently about how they feel in your body and emotions.
2. Gentle Conversation
We talk about what brings you in and what feels most important to address. This helps us co-create intentions that respect your current capacity.
4. Reflection & Next Steps
We close with a brief reflection on your experience and discuss how we might move forward. You are always in control of the pace.
Everything we do is based on your consent and choice. Any practice can be adapted, paused, or stopped at any time. Your safety and comfort are my highest priority.
